Doesn’t Heroku’s “Review Apps” predates this?

(funnily enough, it’s been exactly 6 years ago today based on the beta’s blog post above)
- ljm 5y agoI remember using ephemeral Heroku deploys in the dev pipeline well before I knew Netlify was a thing. That was pretty much the last major innovation I saw from Heroku, before Salesforce decided they'd grown fat enough to milk. But...there were also pipelines. A deploy preview is essentially a staging or pre-prod environment. Or going from draft to published.
- glenngillen 5y agoThey were in fairly wide "unofficial" customer usage for a year before that too I think. source: my last day at Heroku was a year prior to that post, and I recall using them.
- nrmitchi 5y agoThere was a company called Runnable that had a product offering, but if I recall correctly was acquired by MuleSoft and shut down. Their first round was in 2012, and even though I believe they had a different product originally, their preview environment offering predated Heroku’s.
- p0deje 5y agoI think even Heroku is not the first company offering this to public. There was an app called Teatro.io which did the same in 2014. It's down now, but I've found https://web.archive.org/web/20140614011544/http://teatro.io/ https://web.archive.org/web/20140614011544/http://teatro.io/.
