Tugboat
Tugboat provides on-demand, ephemeral staging environments for web applications and websites. · Tugboat · DevOps & CI
Overview
Tugboat lets teams and developers create on-demand preview environments for web applications, making it easy to review changes before deployment. The Free tier is $0, no card required, for validating Tugboat as a workflow tool, with unlimited previews but limited storage. Integration with popular version control systems streamlines the workflow, but larger storage and premium features require a paid plan.
Good fit
Use Tugboat when you need automated, shareable preview environments for web projects integrated with your version control system.
- collaborative teams
- agencies
- open source projects
Not a fit
Avoid the Free tier if you need more than 5GB of preview storage; paid plans start at $39/month for 15GB.
- need more than 5GB of preview storage on the free tier
- need on-premise or dedicated hardware
