How to set up preview environments for apps built with Codex
Blog post from Northflank
Northflank provides a cloud platform that facilitates the deployment of applications with production-grade infrastructure, focusing on the creation of preview environments for apps built using Codex. These environments automatically generate isolated, production-like settings for each pull request, allowing developers, QA engineers, designers, and stakeholders to review live applications before changes are merged into production. Preview environments are crucial as they enable safe testing without affecting production systems, utilizing unique URLs for easy access and ensuring automatic cleanup post-merge. Northflank offers two methods to set up these environments: through Codex with Northflank Skills for automatic configuration using natural language or manually via the Northflank dashboard. Both methods lead to the same result, ensuring every pull request gets its own isolated deployment, which is essential for validating changes efficiently and securely before they reach end-users.
