Human roles affected
What it replaces or reduces
- DevOps / release engineer
- Web hosting systems administrator
Why this autonomy level: Per the Git docs, deployments are triggered automatically by pushes and merges with no manual release step. The human control points are the merge into the production branch and authorizing deployments of pull requests from forks.
Supported workflows

- Deploy automatically on every branch push
- Create a unique preview deployment for each pull request
- Create a production deployment on merge to the production branch
