DeployLens features

  • Real-time updates. Cards move instantly as GitHub webhooks fire, showing current PR, build, and deployment status.
  • Progress bars. Displays CI check progress with color-coded bars for quick health assessment.
  • Change scope labels. Shows the deepest common directory a change touches directly on each card.
  • DORA metrics. Automatically calculates deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and MTTR.
  • Environment columns. Creates a column for each environment (staging, production, preview, etc.) automatically.
  • Zero config. Install the GitHub App and start; no YAML, code changes, or additional setup required.

Keel features

  • Schema-driven data model. Define data models, actions, and permissions in a clear schema that generates APIs and internal tools.
  • TypeScript extensions. Write custom functions, jobs, and durable functions in TypeScript with full type safety.
  • Version-controlled environments. Create multiple environments, branch deployments, and PR previews with audit trails.
  • Built-in testing framework. Generate type-safe end-to-end tests from the schema for actions, functions, and jobs.
  • Instant internal tools. Automatically generate UI tools for ops teams that stay in sync with schema changes.
  • Serverless infrastructure. Managed, multi-region PostgreSQL and serverless runtime scales from first to millionth user.
