Deployment

An index and topic collection covering application deployment platforms, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) providers, and CI/CD-as-a-service tools that expose APIs for shipping code to production. Deployment platforms automate the path from source repository to running application, handling build, release, promotion, rollback, and continuous delivery. This collection spans modern PaaS providers like Vercel, Netlify, Render, Railway, Fly.io, and Heroku; cloud platform deployment services like AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google Cloud Run, and Azure App Service; hosted CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Travis CI, Buildkite, and Harness; and GitOps and continuous delivery tools like Argo CD, Flux CD, Spinnaker, Octopus Deploy, Jenkins, Tekton, and Werf.

Deployment is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Deployment, CI/CD, Continuous Deployment, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery.

The Deployment catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Deployment’s developer surface includes developer portal and 1 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/deployment: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
