Launch HN: Dockup (YC W19) – On demand staging environments for dev teams
Dockup spins up on-demand environments so engineering teams can quickly test their code changes. When you open pull requests, Dockup creates disposable environments automatically and delivers URLs to your chatrooms; engineers don’t have to wait their turn to manually deploy to a staging server for testing their code changes. We faced many problems on the way, for example – the need for pre-seeded prod like databases for testing features, being able to support architectural changes (for example, adding a message queue in the tech stack and testing it with Dockup) etc.
