A highly capable, zero-to-low cost DevOps pipeline leveraging generous free tiers for automated deployments and error tracking.
As a student or early-stage team, setting up infrastructure manually leads to configuration drift, leaked API keys, and untracked production crashes. You need an automated, secure pipeline that deploys your code instantly without costing a fortune.
Your team can now push code to GitHub and watch it deploy to Vercel automatically within seconds. Secrets are securely injected via Doppler, database migrations run safely on Neon, and any runtime errors are immediately captured by Sentry.
Hosts code repositories and runs automated build/test pipelines via GitHub Actions.
Centralizes and encrypts environment variables, syncing them automatically to GitHub and Vercel.
Provides serverless PostgreSQL databases with instant branching for feature-based testing.
Deploys frontend applications and serverless functions globally with automatic SSL and CDN.
Monitors application health in real-time, capturing crashes and performance bottlenecks.
Vercel natively integrates with GitHub to trigger automatic deployments on every git push.
Doppler automatically syncs environment variables directly to Vercel projects upon changes.
Sentry links stack traces directly to GitHub commits, identifying the exact author of the breaking change.
This stack is designed for student developers and early-stage startups looking to establish a robust CI/CD pipeline, secure secret management, and error monitoring without financial overhead. By combining GitHub Actions, Vercel, Neon, Sentry, and Doppler, you get a modern Git-ops workflow where every commit is automatically built, tested, secured, and deployed.
