Introducing Review Apps
SummaryAI, from the source post

Introduces 'Review Apps' as ephemeral, dynamically created environments for each branch, automatically deleted upon branch deletion. This feature aims to improve the fidelity and speed of code reviews by providing isolated, high-fidelity environments for testing and demonstration, reducing the need for manual environment management and enabling earlier involvement of non-developers in the review process. The post details the implementation using GitLab CI/CD with dynamic environment names and URLs based on branch names, and includes examples for starting and stopping these environments.
