Control Plane Flow

Control Plane Flow docs

Heroku-style deployments on Control Plane.

`cpflow` gives Rails and containerized apps a convention-driven path for review apps, staging deploys, production promotion, release phases, and operational commands.

Why teams use it

The ergonomics of Heroku with the control and economics of Control Plane.

Heroku-style developer experience

Convention-driven review apps, staging, production promotion, and release phases — the workflow your team already knows, without the Heroku bill.

Kubernetes power, no cluster babysitting

Run on Control Plane’s global infrastructure with real control over scaling, regions, and cost. No YAML sprawl and no clusters to operate yourself.

CI you can generate

One command scaffolds GitHub Actions for the entire flow, so promotion is automated, auditable, and consistent from the first deploy.

Explore the docs

The docs are synced from the source repo, so CLI behavior and published guidance stay together.
