DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS

Plug into your existing workflow

Git push triggers a fresh environment. Tests run on production clones. CI/CD just works — no custom scripting required.

Every CI tool provisions containers. None provision production-identical clones with real data. Rediacc does.

# .gitlab-ci.yml — one line adds production clones to your pipeline
$ git push origin feature/auth-v2
Webhook received .............. feature/auth-v2
Cloning production (btrfs CoW) .. 380 GB → 2.1 GB
Starting clone: ci-auth-v2 .... 4 repos live
Running test suite ............ 247 passed
Running integration tests ..... 38 passed
Auto-destroying clone ......... cleaned up
✓ Pipeline passed: 285 tests on production-identical clone
trigger: git push    clone: 52s    tests: 3m 14s    total: 4m 06s

Illustrative output; actual runs may include extra logs.

THE PROBLEM

Custom CI/CD scripts break and no one maintains them

Someone wrote a 200-line bash script to provision test environments in your pipeline. They left the company. The script breaks every month. Nobody understands it. Your CI/CD pipeline is held together by duct tape and hope.

THE REAL COST

What broken CI/CD is costing you

Every test that passes on synthetic data but fails in production is a CI pipeline that lied to you.

HOW IT WORKS

One command. Zero scripts.

1

Connect

Add one webhook line to your Git config. GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or any webhook-capable system.

2

Trigger

Every push automatically creates a fresh production clone. Real data, real configs, real services.

3

Test

Your CI pipeline runs tests on a production-identical clone. Auto-destroys after tests complete.

UNDER THE HOOD

Custom scripts vs. native integration

Traditional CI/CD provisions empty containers and seeds synthetic data. Rediacc integrates at the infrastructure level — every push gets a full production clone with real data, real configs, and real services.

Custom CI Scripts
Rediacc
200+ lines of bash provisioning scripts
One webhook config line — zero custom scripts
Synthetic test data that doesn’t match production
Real production data via btrfs copy-on-write clone
15–30 min to provision test environment
52 seconds to clone entire production stack
Manual teardown, forgotten environments
Automatic cleanup after pipeline completes
WHY IT MATTERS

What you get

Native Git integration

Push triggers environments. Works with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Gitea, or any webhook-capable system.

Production clones in CI

Tests run against real production data and configs. No more “tests pass, prod fails” surprises.

Zero maintenance

No custom scripts to maintain, update, or debug. No more paging someone at 2 AM because CI provisioning broke.

THE GAP

Test fixtures vs. production clones

Every CI platform provisions containers. None provision production-identical environments with real data.

We deleted 400 lines of CI provisioning scripts and replaced them with one webhook config line. Our pipeline went from 22-minute provisions with synthetic data to 52-second production clones. Three months later, we’ve had zero CI-related incidents. Before Rediacc, it was four per month.
