Customer host needed live proof before every deploy

Deploy path with automated live-proof gate

Context

The customer-facing host for ReviewTube had to stay up while I shipped changes. Manual checks were slow and incomplete.

What went wrong

I sometimes deployed after only checking the happy path. Edge cases around guest links and expired tickets were easy to miss.

What we changed

I built an automated live-proof suite that hits the real customer host after every deploy. It checks guest share links, upload strings, CORS, and brand pages.

Result

Broken states are caught before customers see them. The suite is the gate, not a suggestion.
