Validate every change before it ships. Shipyard by StackGen builds an isolated, production-like copy of your application for every pull request, so developers and AI coding agents test the real thing before it merges. Shipyard is the proactive test environment of StackGen's Autonomous Operations Factory.

Shared staging can't keep up

When developers, QA, and AI coding agents all queue for one shared staging environment, a single bad change blocks every team. Changes wait days for a test slot, bugs are found late, and idle environments burn cloud spend. Agentic IDEs make it worse by multiplying the number of pull requests. The risk is already visible in production: about 10% of disclosed company incidents are now AI-attributable, a six-fold rise in three years (StackGen State of Reliability 2026).

What Shipyard changes

Minutes, not days: every pull request gets its own full-stack environment on demand, at its own URL.

Parallel testing: each PR, branch and agent fix runs in isolation. A failed test holds only that PR, not the whole team.

Bugs caught pre-merge: run your tests against a production-like stack before code reaches your main branch.

Scale to zero: environments are deleted automatically on merge, so you don't pay for idle infrastructure.

Cleaner staging: shared staging is kept for release checks instead of day-to-day testing.

How it works

Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, with templates for any CI.

Use Compose: Shipyard detects services from your existing Docker Compose file, with no retooling.

Configure services, routes, environment variables and secrets in one dashboard.

Push code: each PR environment builds, tests and can be shared. Git webhooks rebuild it on every push.

Ship: merging tears the environment down, and tested containers ship to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Amazon EKS or Google GKE.

Built for developers and AI agents

Agent-ready: The Shipyard MCP server lets AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Cursor check logs, restart environments and manage them on request.

CLI and REST API: find environments by repo, branch or PR; stop, restart, rebuild or revive them; cancel builds; switch branches; and load data snapshots from scripts or CI.

Secure configuration: manage environment variables and secrets per environment, scoped to specific services and masked by default. Pull images from private container registries.

Visibility and access: stream build and container logs, review build history, and invite teammates to view and test each environment.

Proof from production

Healthie ships 50%+ more features on average and has freed 20-30% of a week from staging upkeep since adopting Shipyard (measured, Healthie case study).

"Every pull request gets a high-fidelity environment where our browser tests run before anything merges. With more and more PRs coming in from agents, that step matters more than ever." Harrison Hunter, CTO, Rippit
