  • You can now deploy apps to App Platform using GitHub Actions.

    We offer three different example workflows, but you can customize them to meet your needs:

    • Deploy an app from a GitHub repository to App Platform.
    • Build an image of your app using Docker and GitHub Container Registry, and then deploy the image to App Platform.
    • Deploy a unique app for each pull request in your repository so that you can test your changes before merging them into your main branch.
