Use cases

Built for the deploys that actually matter.

Migrations, payment logic, auth changes — the stuff that breaks prod at 2am. DeployRamp puts a safety net under all of it.

01

Canary deployments

Start with 1%. Prove it works. Then ship it.

Send new features to a thin slice of traffic first. DeployRamp watches error rates and latency. If something spikes, the flag flips back before users notice.

Example: Checkout redesign ships at 2%. Zero anomalies after 30 minutes, so it ramps: 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%. No one touched a dashboard.

02

Database migrations

Ship the migration. Ship the code. Separately.

Gate queries that depend on a new schema behind a flag. Apply the migration, validate it, then flip the flag. Your deploy pipeline and migration runner stay independent.

Example: Team adds a ‘preferences’ column. Flag gates the new query path. Migration lands, gets validated, flag turns on. No coupling.

03

Payment flow changes

Revenue-critical code gets extra guardrails.

Pricing, tax calc, checkout logic — DeployRamp auto-flags these as high-risk. It watches conversion rates and rolls back the instant revenue metrics dip.

Example: New processing fee added to checkout. Flag starts at 5%. Error rate flat, no payment failures. Ramps to 100% over 6 hours.

04

API versioning

Migrate consumers one group at a time.

Rolling out v2? Use flags to shift traffic from v1 gradually. Monitor error rates per consumer group. Roll back individual integrations if something breaks.

Example: v2 endpoint with a different response shape. Internal consumers go first, then partners, then public. Each group monitored on its own.

05

Infrastructure swaps

Swap providers with traffic, not prayers.

Moving to a new cache, queue, or storage provider? Flag the new integration, shift traffic in steps, compare performance side by side.

Example: Redis to Valkey migration. 10% of cache reads go to Valkey while latency is logged for both. p99 matches, ramp to 100%.

06

Auth & permissions

The riskiest deploy gets the most protection.

Auth, session, and permissions changes are the kind that lock everyone out at once. DeployRamp rolls these out slowly with instant rollback if login failures spike.

Example: New OAuth provider added. Flag enables it for internal users first, then 10% of new signups. Auth success rates monitored at every step.
