Test Pull Requests for Microservices in your staging Kubernetes cluster
/ built for platform engineering teams
Before Signadot, previewing features took 30 to 40 minutes, creating a significant bottleneck in our development. Now, that time is under two minutes—a 15x productivity boost. Signadot is now essential to our streamlined process, saving hundreds of engineering hours, enabling more testing iterations, and elevating code quality.
Signadot has streamlined our deployment processes, enabling efficient testing and reducing effort in maintaining pull requests, ensuring stable, bug-free Android features and seamless team collaboration.
With Neon's rapid growth, maintaining key DORA metrics and production SLO became a challenge. Signadot's Sandboxes solution transformed our CI/CD pipelines, reducing costs and enabling effective testing. Their plugins helped us manage complex dependencies and partners without staging environments. Now, we can confidently make risky changes, fostering a culture of performance-oriented engineering.
I want staging to be in a state where I'm able to push to production any day I want. The quality should be as good as prod so that I don't have to do more work after merging. This is exactly what Signadot allows us to do today. We're now running tests before merging, which means cleaner code and fewer rollbacks.
Without Signadot, developers were experiencing frequent rollbacks of code due to issues discovered late in the staging environment. Now, the developers have much more confidence in what they are deploying, resulting in fewer breaks on production.
Our vision when we started talking to Signadot was that we wanted to have the same stack for testing and production. Signadot has allowed us to do just that, bringing down the lead time for our developers to test changes from 30 minutes to literally 60 seconds.
How it works
Integrate Signadot into your CI pipeline and create Sandboxes that run branch version of microservices in a staging cluster. Preview the change from Mobile and Web frontends and run automated API tests that catch regressions before you merge. The Sandboxes are deleted automatically when PRs are merged.

DoorDash's Leap in Developer Productivity with Signadot
Discover how DoorDash utilized Signadot to supercharge their development workflow, transforming testing from a time-consuming bottleneck into an efficient, cost-effective solution. Developers at DoorDash now safely test changes in the production environment before merging code.
/ why signadot?
Boost Developer Productivity via fast feedback
Empower developers to Preview and Test every code change early before merging. Achieve 10x faster iterations by discovering and fixing integration issues before they impact others.
Scale Testing without runaway Infrastructure Costs
Lightweight Sandboxes offer significant cost reductions, typically ranging from 10 to 100 times less than traditional methods of replicating test environments. Sandboxes efficiently utilize a current staging cluster to satisfy dependencies.
Enable Collaborative Feature Development
Provide previews of your work to code reviewers, product managers, QE teams, and other key stakeholders for swift iteration on new product features. Preview each feature independently and enable parallel feature development.

/FAQs
When you have many microservices, Signadot makes it easier, faster and cheaper to preview and test code changes early in the development lifecycle.
You integrate Signadot within your local testing and Pull Request CI workflows. In both cases, you preview the impact of code changes to your microservices from Mobile and Web frontends. In the Pull Request phase, you enable automated API and E2E tests.
Sandboxes are an logical encapsulation of Services and resources "under-test" that are managed by Signadot in customers' Kubernetes clusters.
You can use any of your favorite testing tools such as Postman, Cypress, Selenium and others to run API and End-to-End tests powered by Sandboxes.
The "under-test" versions of services run in your Kubernetes cluster where all the dependencies are live. You don't need to worry about mocking dependencies.
Solutions like Uber’s SLATE and Lyft’s Staging Overrides are similar to Signadot.
