For realtime full-stack changes, per-PR preview environments are the fastest way to catch weird sync behaviour before merge. Buddy spins one up with its own URL and tears it down on merge.
Nice angle on repo trends. For the CI side of the same picture, Buddy's test analytics track flaky and slow tests over time, which pairs well with a repo view like this.
If the goal is lowering GitHub dependence without going full self-host, Buddy has built-in Git hosting alongside its CI/CD, so repos and pipelines live in the same place.
