DeployBeat v ANDROID
Check the right deployment, review its history and usage, and leave a clear handoff with this practical DeployBeat checklist.
A deploy starts, you leave your desk, and then someone asks whether the site is ready. A useful status check should answer three questions: which site did you check, what did you observe, and what still needs attention?
This guide offers a repeatable checklist for that moment. DeployBeat provides the mobile view; your release notes and a browser check supply the context for deciding what to do next.
According to its Google Play listing, DeployBeat is an independent Netlify dashboard with site deploy status, deployment history with filters and details, and bandwidth and build-minute usage gauges. It connects using your own Netlify personal access token.
The listing puts failure alerts and deploy-history CSV export in Premium. Failure checks happen when you open or refresh the app, with a local notification for a newly found failed deploy. Plan a deliberate check rather than assuming that silence means everything succeeded.
Before opening a dashboard, write one sentence in your release notes: “I am checking the pricing-page update for the customer site.” Include the time of the change if it will help distinguish it from earlier work.
This small step gives the status a specific question to answer. If you manage several sites, deciding which one matters first also makes it easier to avoid reporting on a different project by mistake. These notes are part of your own workflow, not a claimed DeployBeat feature.
Use the dashboard to find the relevant site and read the status it currently shows. Record the time you checked. If the expected deployment is not clear, keep the result open instead of turning an uncertain observation into a success report.
A useful note is concrete: “Checked at 14:10; the deploy needs another look.” Decide who will check again and when. That makes the next action explicit even if you are about to leave your phone unattended.
Look through deployment history and the available details to identify the attempt you intended to check. A prior successful deployment and a more recent failed attempt answer different questions.
For your own handoff, record the site, the observed result, and the relevant attempt. If the app's information does not explain a failure, ask the person responsible for the deployment to investigate in their usual deployment tools. This checklist does not assume that DeployBeat repairs builds or performs rollbacks.
Check the bandwidth and build-minute gauges as a separate part of the routine. Write down anything that needs a closer look against your plan.
Keep the follow-up specific: “Review build-minute usage before the next batch of changes.” Avoid treating a usage observation as proof of why a particular deployment failed. A status result and a resource review are useful together, but they do not establish a cause on their own.
As a separate browser step, open the site address you normally use and try the action affected by the change. For a pricing-page edit, read the changed text and follow its main link. For a navigation update, follow the path a visitor would take.
Choose the check before you begin so that it is clear what “reviewed” means. Record any remaining uncertainty instead of extending a narrow check into a claim that every feature works.
Use this template in your existing notes:
A consistent note makes the next conversation easier: it tells another person what you actually checked and where to continue. Start with one site and repeat the checklist after the next change.
