ReviewPhin features
- One-click deployment. Run ReviewPhin via Docker Compose or Helm chart; a single container hosts the worker, setup flow, and docs.
- Platform registration. Store reusable GitLab or GitHub credentials as platform connections and attach them to projects.
- Model flexibility. Use bundled Copilot CLI or configure OpenAI-compatible, Azure, or Anthropic endpoints via named profiles.
- Pluggable storage. Start with SQLite, switch to Flotiq, or add a custom storage adapter for review persistence.
- Automated review publishing. Trigger reviews from merge-request surfaces; findings, replies, and summaries are posted as native bot-owned comments.
- Container-ready runtime. The same image serves the worker, setup assets, and documentation, simplifying production deployment.
