### What we like

Preview environments for your entire app - frontend, backend, database, and any other containerized service. Spins up new environments on PRs or on-demand. Use for testing, QA, or demos. Access logs and monitoring stats. SSH into the environment for debugging. CLI to create and manage environments.

### Tradeoffs

Only way to configure environments is via Docker Compose, although this does mean the preview environments match your local environment (and hopefully prod, too).
