Deploy Gate

Know before
you push.

The Deploy Gate reads five live signals from your existing stack and surfaces a single, decisive answer before every deploy. No new agents. No new dashboards. Strake reads what is already there and tells you what it means right now.

01
The Five Signals

What Strake reads
before you push.

Every deploy decision is based on five live signals. Each one maps to a real failure mode that engineers have experienced at 3am.

01
Signal 01SLO Budget
How much error budget is left.

Strake reads your current SLO window and burn rate. When a deploy risks exhausting the remaining budget before the window closes, the gate holds — before it becomes an SLO violation with real consequences.

02
Signal 02Active Incidents
Open incidents across the dependency graph.

Deploying into an active incident almost always makes things worse and makes root cause harder to find. The gate surfaces open incidents across the target service and its direct dependencies before you push.

03
Signal 03Change Velocity
How many deploys have gone out recently.

High deploy velocity makes root cause isolation nearly impossible when something breaks. The gate tracks deploys per time window and flags when velocity is creating dangerous signal noise.

04
Signal 04System Health
The baseline you are deploying into.

Latency, error rates, resource saturation — current health of the target service and its dependency graph. What looks like a clean deploy can mask a system that is already under stress.

05
Signal 05Dependency Changes
What changed in your lockfile.

Strake diffs lockfiles between builds — flagging new packages, major version bumps, and dependencies published within hours of your build. No CVE required.

02
Gate Result

One answer.
No ambiguity.

The gate does not give you more dashboards to check. It gives you a verdict.

How It Works

No new agents.
No new dashboards.

// 01
Connect your stack

Connect GitHub Actions, PagerDuty, Datadog, and Slack. Strake reads signals from tools you already use — no new instrumentation required.

// 02
Gate runs on every push

The gate runs automatically as part of your CI pipeline. Every deploy gets an instant verdict based on live signal data from across your stack.

// 03
Team sees the verdict

Gate results post to your Slack channel with the signal breakdown. Everyone sees why a deploy is being held — not just the engineer who ran CI.
