New Development Collaboration Tool, Flowt, Now in Beta
[Orlando, Florida] – Now in Beta!—Flowt is a new front-end continuous delivery service built both for professionals and those that code for fun. Utilizing DevOps best practices, Flowt promotes seamless collaboration with a team-centric design that bridges the communication gap between developers and operations.
When you connect your Github account to Flowt and choose a repository, Flowt automatically gets to work. It transfers all relevant files to a Digital Ocean Space for your staging environment and preps a production environment (bucket) for you.
Inside your staging environment, you can live-test each commit change and see exactly how it will look to your users. Whether you have acceptance tests to run or want your team to sign off on changes, your visual staging environment allows you to feel completely confident before promoting to Production.
Multiple release roles improve release transparency and communication by allowing everyone on the team to stay up to date, regardless of their place on the team:
- Production Level: promote to production, roll back to previous releases, override failed tests
- Staging Level: add and modify tests, retry failed tests
- Read-only Level: view the pipeline and observe any changes
When the whole team is ready to promote to production, it can be done manually or automatically. For a Continuous Delivery pipeline, set your Flowt project to automatic promotion. If you’d rather handle promotion yourself, just click the ‘Promote to Prod’ button when you’re ready.
Flowt is integrated with Cloudflare, meaning everything you do with Flowt is protected by a point of presence in Cloudflare’s 149 data centers, smart routing and caching, and top-notch security.
Flowt also plays well with other services you love, like Slack. When you link Slack to your project pipeline in Flowt, you can choose to receive release notifications right inside your Slack channel. You can even promote to production directly from Slack!
Our team at Flowt aims to be transparent and direct. We have opinions and we’re not afraid to share them—so you don’t have to waste your time on details we can handle. It’s time to boost productivity and increase efficiency with Flowt: all the DevOps tools you need, integrated into one seamless pipeline.
