hotlane

hotlane

Validation-first deployment. Push a change and hotlane forks the app that is already running, applies your delta, verifies the fork in isolation, and flips traffic to it - about a second, end to end. Rollback is a pointer, not a pipeline. The reproducible container image is built in the background, off the critical path.

Install

npm install -g hotlane

This package fetches the platform binary (Linux/macOS, amd64/arm64) from GitHub Releases at install time. One binary - it is both the daemon and the CLI.

Quickstart

cd your-app
hotlane init      # detects Node / Python / Go, writes hotlane.yml
hotlane serve     # boots the warm pool, proxies traffic

# make a change, then:
hotlane push
#   ok   http: /health == 200 (13ms)
# PROMOTED v2 live in 978ms

hotlane rollback  # flip back, sub-second

Runs anywhere Docker runs: your VPS, bare metal, an EC2 instance. Benchmarked at ~1-2s push-to-verified-live where a classical pipeline took 8+ minutes.
