Introduction


🚀 Enforce DevOps best practices

Warestack is a developer tool that enforces teams to follow best practices across the DevOps lifecycle.

Warestack consolidates operational tasks from different tools, by standardizing process steps across the toolchains using best practices.

Detecting issues beforehand: It flags skipped reviews, failed tests, risky merges, unreviewed changes, impactful updates, and more before they impact production.
Enforcing toolchain rules: It blocks and revoke workflows when operational conditions and rules are violated, ensuring every team is accountable for its changes.
Standardizing deployments: it guarantees consistency and error-free releases by providing resolutions to help the team improve and avoid costly mistakes.

How does Warestack work?

Connect your GitHub account to Warestack and bring your repositories into a unified space. Our tool consolidates all workflows and events—including pull requests, deployment reviews, issues, and more, across your codebase.


➡️ Warestack enforces best practices by creating an operational loop that adheres to the team's standards across
toolchains, revoking operations when rules are violated.

💡 And there’s more!

Do you need more visibility of tasks and responsibilities? Instantly access a unified view of your open pull requests, deployment reviews, issues, and other events, helping you stay on top of critical tasks with minimal effort.
Are critical tasks slipping through the cracks?: Urgent tasks like pull request reviews or deployment approvals can easily be overlooked when managing multiple workflows manually. Warestack ensures everything gets noticed by keeping all your essential actions and providing one-click solutions. Warestack promotes consistency by giving you a unified view of managing your issues, pull requests, deployment reviews, and other events.
Do you feel overwhelmed by task tracking and workflow management? Constantly juggling responsibilities across various tools increases mental effort, leaving less time for actual development. Warestack reduces cognitive load by consolidating your workflows. Identify an error, review its description, and take immediate action—either create an issue, assign it to the most suitable team member, or address it directly using the Warestack assistant.
Are you frustrated by delays in resolving issues? Collaborating on debugging, reviewing, or approving tasks often requires extra effort to gather context and take action. Warestack provides quick access to all relevant information. Our AI assistant offers step-by-step guidance for your GitHub Actions. Ask questions about your codebase, PRs, issues, or broken workflows, and even create new workflows by simply describing your requirements. With access to over 10,000 GitHub actions, the assistant will recommend the best options, ensuring you understand each action’s prerequisites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information is retrieved from GitHub? Under the permissions section during the Warestack GitHub App installation, you can specify the level of access granted. These are read access to environments and metadata and read and write access to actions, administration checks, code, commit statuses, deployments, discussions, issues, merge queues, pull requests, and workflows.
What happens if my repository is updated after adding it to a Project? You must re-index your repository, and we will fetch the latest changes. This will update our access to your repository to the latest.
Can I add multiple repositories to a single space? Yes! You can add multiple repositories to provide Warestack with comprehensive context for your development and operational tasks. This will allow you to monitor all related issues, PRs, deployment reviews, and workflow runs from a single space.
What happens if I have a platform repository? A platform repository is perfect for maintaining reusable workflows—predefined sets of automated steps that can be shared across multiple projects or tasks. By setting up a platform repository, your team stays aligned with optimized workflows managed from a single source of truth. This approach is ideal for CI/CD processes, saving time, ensuring consistency, and standardizing repetitive tasks, ultimately streamlining the development and operational lifecycle.
What are Warestack’s best practices? Incorporating best practices and high DevOps standards into your daily workflows can improve your skills, enable your team to work smoothly, and minimize mental stress during critical incidents. Incorporating best practices and high DevOps standards into your daily workflows can improve your skills, enable your team to work smoothly, and minimize mental stress during critical incidents.

These are the essential best practices that we promote:

Establish a single source of truth not only for code but also for deployments.
Standardize releases through pull-request-based deployments.
Opt for maintainable composite workflow steps over plain scripts wherever possible.
Enforce least privilege principles with granular permissions and thorough reviews.
Adopt trunk-based development with structured branching and workflow strategies.
Continuously improve through actionable observability and feedback.
Foster accountable collaboration, with each process thoroughly documented for clarity.
