To help improve the reliability of deployments for Node.js applications, we have released a new VIP-CLI command that runs a suite of preflight checks against your local codebase. The VIP-CLI preflight check can create a local environment for testing with the same configuration as your VIP Platform Node.js environment.
These preflight checks will validate your application and flag any issues that might prevent the application from building, deploying, or working as expected on the VIP Platform. This gives you the same functionality that was already available through GitHub Pull Requests comments, but with the ability to run it locally and on-demand.
We would love to know what you think about it, including how you hope to use this new tool, and what we might be missing, so feel free to get in touch!
