The diff is not the whole risk.
The reviewer sees code, but not the incident that is already active, the failed deploy from this morning, or the lockfile churn hiding in the PR.
Know before
you deploy.
Strake is a GitHub Action that posts a GO / HOLD / CRITICAL verdict in your PR so you can ship with confidence.
- Active incidents and service health
- Recent deploy failures and velocity
- Dependency changes vs last known good
- Runbooks ready when something breaks

The problem
- ×Deploys happen without full context
- ×Incidents hide in other tools
- ×Runbooks live in wikis, not in the moment
- ×Small teams carry the risk
The solution
Strake brings the right signals together and posts a clear verdict where you already decide to deploy.

How it works
Deploy Gate in your flow.
Strake analyzes the signals that matter and posts a verdict in your PR. If something breaks, runbooks are one click away.
1
Install the action
Add the Strake gate-check workflow to one repo and generate a deploy token for the service you want to protect first.
2
Read the signals
Strake evaluates active incidents, deploy velocity, dependency movement, and configured health context before the merge.
3
Post the verdict
The pull request gets a GO / HOLD / CRITICAL comment with the signal breakdown and the next operational step.
Small teams ship with thin context.
When there is no dedicated SRE bench, production judgment often lives in Slack, memory, and the one engineer who has been paged before.
Runbooks show up too late.
A runbook is useful when it travels with the incident and the deploy context, not when someone has to search for it after the page.
Integrations
Works with the tools your team already uses.
Start with GitHub Actions and PagerDuty. Add Datadog health context as your gate becomes part of the workflow.
