Active incidents
Do not deploy into a live incident without explicit context.
Know before you push.
Deploy Gate runs in GitHub Actions and posts a PR verdict using the production signals your reviewer cannot see in the diff.

Five signals. One deploy opinion.
Each signal is simple enough to explain in a code review. The value is putting the signal bundle next to the merge decision.
Change velocity
Recent failures and churn make the next deploy riskier.
SLO budget
Health context helps avoid pushing into a fragile service.
System health
Latency and error signals become part of the PR discussion.
Dependency changes
Lockfile movement is reviewed at the deploy boundary.

1
Connect one repo
Start with GitHub Actions. Add PagerDuty and Datadog when you want live incident, SLO, and health context.
2
Run on every PR
The gate evaluates the signals Strake can currently see and reports missing sources instead of pretending coverage is complete.
3
Comment with context
The PR gets a GO / HOLD / CRITICAL verdict plus the signal breakdown, so the team knows why the gate made the call.
Verdict model
Deterministic beats mysterious.
Strake does not need a black box to be useful. The gate should be boringly clear: any critical signal is critical, warnings hold the deploy for review, and clean evaluated signals produce GO.
Protect one deploy path first.
Install the GitHub Action, open a pull request, and judge the verdict before adopting anything else.
