Hey HN! We're releasing Uffizzi open source.

Uffizzi is a tool that lets you preview pull requests before merging. Create on-demand Preview Environments for APIs, frontends, backends, databases, and microservices. Each Preview Environment gets a secure HTTPS URL that is continually refreshed when you push new commits. Uffizzi also handles clean up, so your environments last only as long as you need them.

Uffizzi is an open-source, off-the-shelf, cross-platform solution that works with any version control system, container registry, or CI platform.

I see Uffizzi could fit perfectly on any of our projects workflow, worth to invest some time to set everything in place, to save later on the road time and headaches using on demand previews
Absolutely. A small time investment upfront (~1 hr) yields big dividends for development velocity and code quality.
I've been using Uffizzi for a few months now. It's helped get fast feedback by running our test automation against our code branches before merging to our trunk branch. We've found 12 bugs/issues so far that never made it to trunk :)
Great to hear it’s providing value!

This is very cool. I love that it can be self-hosted! It looks super easy to use, too. Spinning up a pull request environment sounds like a great help.
Thanks for the feedback .

We open sourced because we noticed lots of teams reinventing the wheel by building this themselves.

Wow, this is so cool! I see so much value in bringing this in our development process. Our current process of setting up preview urls and testing takes forever. This seems simple and super easy to integrate!
Looks like a very cool tool, which could make a difference in our development process. Definitely going to give it a try.
Awesome. Please join our community on Slack too
