Blueprint Deploy

User Guide

Blueprint Deploy lets you create, monitor, and manage live website deployments from GitHub with just a few click, no AWS or CI/CD expertise required.

What Is Blueprint Deploy?

Blueprint Deploy is a dashboard that helps you:

Spin up live preview environments from a GitHub branch

Automatically assign a subdomain to each deployment

Monitor deployment progress in real time

Cleanly remove deployments when they’re no longer needed

It abstracts away infrastructure and CI/CD complexity so you can focus on shipping and testing your product.

Who Is This For?

Developers testing features on real infrastructure

Product managers reviewing work-in-progress

Teams managing multiple temporary environments

You do not need AWS or DevOps knowledge to use this tool.

Getting Started

Sign In

Open the Blueprint Deploy dashboard

Sign in using your organization credentials

Once signed in, you’ll land on the Deployments Dashboard

You will stay signed in across sessions unless you explicitly log out.

Dashboard

The dashboard is your control center.

You’ll see:

A list of all active deployments

Name

Subdomain

GitHub repository & branch

Current status

Each deployment’s:

From here, you can:

Create a new deployment

Monitor an in-progress deployment

Delete an existing deployment

Creating a New Deployment

Click “Create Deployment” to open the deployment form.

Required Information

You’ll be asked for:

Field

What It Means

Name

A unique identifier for this site

Subdomain

The URL prefix (e.g. alpha → alpha.yourdomain.com)

GitHub Repository

The repo to deploy

Branch

The branch to deploy (usually main)

Requires Authentication

Whether login is required to view the site

Include Root Domain

Whether the root domain should also point to this site

What Happens Next?

Once you submit:

The deployment is queued automatically

You are redirected to the Deployment Status page

Infrastructure and site setup begin in the background

No further action is required from you.

Monitoring a Deployment

Each deployment has a status view that updates automatically.

What You’ll See

The deployment progresses through stages such as:

Source – pulling code from GitHub

Build – preparing the site

Deploy – making it live

Each stage shows one of:

In Progress

Succeeded

Failed

If something goes wrong, the deployment clearly shows where it failed.

When It’s Done

Once successful:

A live URL appears

You can open the site immediately

The link can be shared with others

You can bookmark or share the status page—it will continue to work.

Viewing Existing Deployments

From the dashboard, you can:

See all active deployments

Quickly identify which are running or completed

Click into any deployment to see its details or status

This helps teams track infrastructure usage and avoid forgotten environments.

Deleting a Deployment

When you no longer need a site:

Click Delete on the deployment

Confirm the action

What Deleting Does

Removes the live website

Deletes the associated infrastructure

Cleans up the GitHub repository created for that deployment

This helps keep costs and clutter under control.

Deletions are immediate and cannot be undone.

Best Practices

Use clear names for deployments (e.g. feature-auth-redesign)

Delete deployments once testing or review is complete

Use separate deployments for parallel feature work

Share the live URL with stakeholders instead of screenshots
