Preevy review
An open-source CLI for ephemeral Compose previews across cloud and Kubernetes targets.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Preevy is an open-source CLI for provisioning, managing, and exposing ephemeral preview environments from Docker Compose files. It is designed for development teams that need temporary environments for pull-request review, collaboration, testing, and other non-production work. Each Compose service can receive an HTTPS URL, while environments can be public or protected. Teams can also update existing environments, list them, and delete them from the CLI.
The published product details show no paid plan structure: Preevy is open-source software, while cloud-provider and Kubernetes infrastructure costs are separate. Its ecosystem fit is broad for teams already working in CI. Preevy supports GitHub Actions, GitLab Actions, CircleCI, Travis CI, and Azure Pipelines, with GitHub pull-request comments for sharing preview URLs. Deployment targets include AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Kubernetes, with storage integrations covering AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage. GitHub and GitLab are the supported git providers for pull-request previews.
Preevy’s standout capability is the combination of Compose-based provisioning, multi-cloud deployment, and preview lifecycle management through one CLI. The approach suits teams that want to keep environment definitions in Docker Compose and control creation, updates, access, and cleanup through automation or command-line workflows. Self-hosting the tunnel server adds an option for teams that want more control over preview traffic infrastructure. Preevy is a strong fit for CLI-first, multi-cloud preview workflows, but teams that do not use Docker Compose or prefer a visual environment-management interface should consider a different preview platform.
