Git Push, Peace of Mind: Frontend Deployment Made Simple with Catalyst Slate

Hello everyone!

We’re excited to kick off a new series, Know Catalyst, where we explore the different services inside Catalyst that help you build, scale, and ship apps with ease.

Each post in this series will spotlight one core Catalyst service, explaining how it makes your developer workflow simpler and faster.
Today’s feature: Catalyst Slate— Slate for Simplified Frontend Deployment
Ever spent more time managing your deployment tools than actually shipping code?
One CI tool builds it, another handles tests, a third takes care of deployment and somehow, you’re still debugging pipeline configs instead of features.
That’s the problem Slate fixes.
It brings your build, test, and deploy flow into one unified stack inside Catalyst.
No extra dashboards. No YAML jungles. No “works on my CI” moments.
Click on Deploy, and Slate takes care of the rest !

What you can do with Slate

• Deploy your way: Push from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket (auto-deploy ready), upload a .zip, or use the Catalyst CLI —whatever fits your flow.
• Set up smarter: Store keys, tokens, and endpoints as environment variables and switch between dev, preview, and prod without touching your code.
• Custom domain support: Host your app on your own domain while keeping a default Slate URL active for testing.
• Team-friendly previews: Every deployment generates a unique preview URL perfect for QA, client reviews, or internal testing.
• Instant rollbacks: Pushed a buggy version? One click, and you’re back to a stable build with zero downtime.
• Built-in visibility: Track deployment history, identify failed builds, and debug all with no console chaos.

Under the Hood

Slate’s  Frontend deployment layer integrates directly with Catalyst’s build orchestration, environment provisioning, and delivery services.
Each deployment is:

• Experience ultra-fast load times with secure, SSL-enabled hosting.
• Version-tracked for instant rollback
• Served through  global CDN optimized for latency and static asset delivery across regions.
• Slate auto-deploys changes from linked Git repositories, generating unique preview URLs
• No manual configuration.
• No CI/CD handoff delays.Just build → deploy → done.

Your turn:
We’ve all had those “deployment night panic” moments—the ones where your heart skips a beat right after hitting deploy.
Share in the comments: what’s one thing you wish you could fix or automate in your current build and deploy process?
