Every PR gets a real environment to prove it works.
Spin up isolated, production-like preview environments for every pull request, so developers, coding agents, QA and stakeholders can test changes against real services before merge.
Runs on your Kubernetes. Secure and isolated. Automatic cleanup.
A pull request isn't ready just because the code looks right.
Modern applications are complex. Real validation happens in a running environment, with real services, real data and real-world configuration.
Validate full-stack behavior
Catch integration, configuration and dependency issues in a realistic environment, long before they reach production.
Give every reviewer a live URL
Send one link. Engineering, QA, product, design and other stakeholders open, review and interact with the actual change, from any browser.
Catch issues before they become releases
Automated checks and earlier validation mean fewer surprises, higher quality and faster, safer releases.
From pull request to proven change.
Step 1
Pull request opened
By a developer or a coding agent, on GitHub, GitLab or any other Git provider.
Step 2
Okteto deploys the preview
An isolated, production-like environment with the full stack spins up on your cluster.
Step 3
Test, share and review
Run automated tests and give everyone on the review a live URL, updated on every push.
Step 4
Update and clean up automatically
New commits redeploy the preview. Merging or closing the pull request removes it.
Built for the volume modern teams are shipping.
AI is increasing the volume of code and pull requests. Reviewers still need confidence that changes work in context. Okteto makes it easy to validate, collaborate and ship, without slowing down.
For developers, agents and reviewers
Real application context
Reviewers click through the running change, not screenshots, and get feedback without waiting on a shared staging environment.
For developers, agents and reviewers
Test changes before merge
Every preview runs your tests against real services, so a broken change shows up on the pull request, not after it merges.
For platform teams
Runs on your infrastructure
Previews run on your Kubernetes, in your own cloud account, with centralized visibility and governance for the platform team across every preview.
For platform teams
Control scope, resources and access
Decide what each preview deploys, what it can use and who can open it, with automatic lifecycle and cleanup built in.
Keep the workflow you already have.
Okteto integrates with your source control, CI/CD and Kubernetes setup, including GitHub, GitLab and any CI system, so you can add preview environments without changing how your team works.
"PRs with sharable preview URLs was a total game-changer since it allowed developers to review changes without dependency matching and config and enabled teams outside of engineering from product, design, and sales to participate in the development process. This allowed us to shift left."
"The best part of Okteto is it allows us to automatically create shareable preview environments with every pull request. This in turn can be used to get feedback from everyone in the company and even customers before a feature is shipped."
Questions before you get started
Okteto has ready-made integrations for GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD, and any other CI system can deploy a preview with the Okteto CLI.
Anyone you share the URL with. Product managers, designers and QA open it in the browser, with no local setup and no access to the cluster.
Until the pull request is merged or closed, when Okteto destroys it automatically. Okteto also scales idle previews to zero and cleans up the ones nobody is using, so your platform team doesn't have to.
Yes. An agent verifies its change in its own environment, then opens a pull request with a live preview you can click. See how Okteto works with coding agents.
Yes. Okteto runs in your own cloud account (BYOC) or on your own Kubernetes clusters (Self-Hosted). Your code, images, environments and data never leave your infrastructure.
Under BYOC, Okteto operates only a monitoring and control plane, and it holds no customer data and no PII. Okteto is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and pen-tested every year.
Self-Hosted is free for up to 5 users, and a trial covers up to 100 users for a month. For a team rollout, the fastest path is a 30-minute call with an Okteto engineer to scope a pilot around your stack.
