Deliver · Operate · Govern
When your release process depends on manual approvals, tribal knowledge, and spreadsheet evidence, speed and safety compete. IntegraCI orchestrates your existing CI/CD and GitOps tools around policy-as-code deploy gates, deployment windows, and real-time DORA metrics so your team can increase deploy frequency without increasing risk. Every gate decision is recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail the moment it happens, so the proof that a release was controlled exists before an auditor ever asks. GitOps-driven progressive rollouts make each deploy a routine operation, not a high-stakes event. You get faster delivery and the evidence to show it was done right.
Who this is for
The problem
Most teams are not slow because of their engineers. They are slow because the controls around delivery were designed for a world where deploys were rare and risky, and those controls have not changed.
Gates slow you down but do not actually protect you
Every release waits for a human to approve a checklist nobody has time to read carefully. The slowdown is real; the protection is not. A scan that passed two days ago and an untested deployment window tell you nothing reliable about the release in front of you.
Velocity metrics come from surveys, not systems
Lead time and deployment frequency reported from spreadsheets or Slack polls reflect what people remember, not what actually happened. You cannot improve a number you cannot measure reliably, and you cannot trust a trend built on estimates.
Every push to go faster earns a push back from security
When compliance controls live outside the delivery pipeline, the only way to satisfy them is to slow the pipeline down. Teams learn to route around controls, and auditors learn not to trust the logs. Speed and safety become a negotiation instead of a design.
How it works
IntegraCI connects to your existing delivery tools and adds a governed layer: policy-as-code gates, deployment windows, real DORA data from actual events, and a tamper-evident log that documents every decision as it happens.
Policy-as-code deploy gates that run automatically
Before any release artifact reaches a production target, IntegraCI evaluates it against your gate rules: scan results, test coverage, change-window status, and signed provenance in one consistent pass. A release that does not meet policy is blocked, not just flagged, and the block reason is written to the audit log immediately.
DORA metrics computed from real delivery events
Deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and mean time to restore are computed from the actual events your pipelines, incident tools, and version control systems already emit. No surveys. No manual entry. The dashboard shows what is genuinely happening so you can act on real trends.
GitOps-driven progressive rollouts by default
Changes flow through version-controlled promotion stages managed by your existing GitOps controller. IntegraCI generates canary or blue-green configurations, monitors each stage against your SLOs, and either promotes automatically when health checks pass or holds for a human approval decision before going further.
A tamper-evident record of every release decision
Every gate evaluation, human approval, promotion, and rollback event is written once to an append-only, tamper-evident audit log the moment it happens. At audit time you export a structured evidence bundle. Nothing is reconstructed after the fact, because the record was built during delivery.
Every release follows the same gated path. The audit record is written before the deploy completes, not assembled afterward.
What you experience
Once gates are enforced automatically and rollouts are progressive, the daily rhythm of delivery changes in concrete, visible ways for every role involved.
Developers get a clear decision, not a waiting room
When a release candidate is ready, the platform evaluates every policy rule and returns a pass or a block with a specific reason. Developers know exactly what to fix, not just that something is wrong, and they can re-run the gate check without opening a ticket or pinging a reviewer.
Operations runs deploys without fire drills
Canary stages, health checks, and automatic SLO comparison replace the manual 'watch the dashboards' ritual that precedes every release. A rollout that starts to degrade either pauses for a human decision or rolls back according to the rules your team set in advance.
Compliance has evidence before they ask for it
Gate decisions, approval records, and deployment events are structured and searchable from the moment they happen. When an auditor requests evidence of controlled change management, you export it. You do not reconstruct it from memory, Slack history, or email threads.
Outcomes
Higher deploy frequency with fewer incidents
When gates are enforced automatically and each release starts small, teams push more often because each push carries less risk. Fewer things reach production with known defects, and the ones that slip through are caught at the canary stage before they affect all users.
Reliable DORA data that drives real decisions
Engineering leadership can see whether process changes are improving or hurting delivery performance, measured from the systems rather than from memory. Quarterly planning conversations start from a shared baseline instead of competing anecdotes.
Audit evidence that holds up under scrutiny
Every controlled-change requirement maps to a specific log entry generated during delivery. Compliance reviews stop being multi-week fire drills because the structured evidence bundle was assembled automatically while your team was shipping.
The proof
The claim holds because of how it is built. Each control runs in the path, records what it did, and maps to the framework you report against.
Policy-as-code deploy gate
Before any release artifact is promoted to a production target, IntegraCI evaluates it against your active gate rules stored in version control. A failed rule blocks the promotion at the gate layer and writes a structured denial record, including the specific rule and the failing value, to the tamper-evident audit log. The gate cannot be bypassed without an explicit, logged override approved by an authorized person.
Deployment window enforcement
Release schedules are encoded as policy, not calendar invitations. A promotion attempted outside an approved window is held or blocked at the gate layer, not just warned about. The window check result and its timestamp are part of every audit record, so the evidence shows not only what was deployed but when and whether the timing was authorized.
Append-only delivery audit log
Every gate evaluation, human approval, promotion, and rollback event is written once to an append-only, tamper-evident log. Records cannot be edited or deleted after the fact. The log is generated during delivery, structured for machine readability, and exportable as a complete evidence bundle covering a single release or a full audit period.
Maps to
The platform maps your controls to these frameworks. The mapping helps you demonstrate them; it is not a certification.
The artifact is the proof
Deployment evidence bundle
An exportable, structured record covering every gate decision, human approval, window check, and deployment event for a release, ready to attach to a change ticket or hand directly to an auditor.

Tamper-evident audit trail with one-bundle evidence export
No. IntegraCI orchestrates and gates the pipeline tools you already run. Your existing CI runners, artifact registries, deployment controllers, and GitOps agents stay in place. IntegraCI adds the policy evaluation and audit layer on top of them so your team keeps the tools they know.
IntegraCI connects to major CI platforms, container registries, and GitOps controllers through its connector catalog. Gate rules consume the events and artifacts those tools already produce: test results, scan reports, deployment events. If your tool emits a result, IntegraCI can evaluate it against your policy.
Platform engineers or security leads write rules in policy as code, stored in version control alongside your other infrastructure definitions. Rules are reviewed, tested in a dry-run mode, and promoted like any other code change. Non-technical stakeholders can read them without needing to understand the underlying syntax.
IntegraCI generates rollout configurations for your GitOps controller to apply to your cluster. Your infrastructure stays yours. IntegraCI issues the configuration, monitors the rollout outcome against your SLOs, and presents the human-in-the-loop approval decision inside the platform before any promotion to a wider audience. Nothing changes in your cluster without a configuration commit going through version control.
When policy is code, gates run automatically, and every decision is logged the moment it happens, speed and control stop being a trade-off. Book a walkthrough to see how IntegraCI enforces your delivery standards without slowing your teams down.
