Pull Request Preview Environments for increasing maintainer productivity

[waveywaves]

I would like to make life easier for JSONHero maintainers by implementing Uffizzi preview environments. Disclaimer: I work on Uffizzi.

Uffizzi is a Open Source full stack previews engine and our platform is available completely free for JSONHero (and all open source projects). This will provide maintainers with preview environments of their PRs in the cloud, allowing them iterate faster and reduce time to merge. You can see the open source repos which are currently using Uffizzi over here

Uffizzi is purpose-built for the task of previewing PRs and it integrates with your workflow to deploy preview environments in the background without any manual steps for maintainers or contributors.

I can go ahead and create an Initial PoC for you right away if you think there is value in this proposal.

TODO:

• [ ] Intial PoC

This sounds like a great idea, would love to see an Initial PoC 👍

@waveywaves it's worth noting that we're deploying to Cloudflare workers right now. Docker doesn't work out of the box.

@ericallam opening a PR soon ! @matt-aitken I will keep that in mind. How are you deploying to cloudflare workers currently ? I am not well versed with cloudflare's services. Not sure if a container is deployed as a worker :/

@matt-aitken I was able to get JSONHero up and running with your provided dockerfile https://github.com/apihero-run/jsonhero-web/pull/139
