Your app updates every time you push to GitHub
Connect your GitHub project once. From then on, every change you push goes live on its own, and if a change does not work, the version people are using keeps running.
A safety net for every change
Mistakes happen, especially when you build quickly. This is what happens next.
| Deploying by hand | Roar AI | |
|---|---|---|
| A change will not build | Your app can go down | The working version stays live |
| Finding out | Often from the people using it | An email straight away |
| Going back | Undo the change and deploy again | Pick an earlier version in the console |
| Working out what broke | Search through the build output | Read the log, or ask Roar AI to try a fix |
Set it up once
This is on by default for apps that come from GitHub.
Connect GitHub
Sign in to GitHub from the console and choose your project.
Choose a branch
Your project’s main branch is used unless you pick another.
Push your changes
Every push to that branch goes live. You can turn this off and deploy by hand instead.
Questions about deploying on push
What happens if a change does not build?
Your app keeps running the previous version, and Roar AI emails you. The console shows the build log and offers to try an AI fix.
What kinds of apps can Roar AI build?
Node, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Java and static sites are detected automatically. If your project has its own Dockerfile, Roar AI uses that instead.
How does going back to an earlier version work?
Choose an earlier deploy and Roar AI deploys that version again, reusing the earlier build when it still has it. Your GitHub project is not changed, so your next push ships your latest code.
Does the AI fix change my code on GitHub?
No. The fix is kept with your app on Roar AI and can be removed in its build settings. It only runs when you ask, and it uses your AI credit.
What if the problem is on Roar AI’s side?
If Roar AI cannot take a deploy, it tries again three times before emailing you.
Can I turn it off?
Yes. With deploying on push off, your app only changes when you redeploy from the console.
