How Bunnyshell works
Connect your repo
Link your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository. Define your environment using Docker Compose, Helm, or Terraform — tools you already use.

K8sOpen a pull request
Bunnyshell auto-provisions an isolated, full-stack environment for every PR. Share the preview URL with your team.
Merge and move on
Tests pass, code is reviewed, PR merges. The environment auto-destroys. No cleanup. No surprise cloud bills.
See it in action.
Deploy your first QA environment in under 30 minutes. Free tier — no credit card required.
One Environment
Per Test Cycle.
Every QA cycle gets a dedicated, isolated environment. Run E2E, regression, and integration tests without sharing infrastructure.
- ✓Cycle-scoped isolation — each test cycle runs on its own stack. No cross-contamination between test runs
- ✓Automatic provisioning — CI triggers environment creation. No manual setup, no DevOps tickets
- ✓Seeded test data — databases populate automatically with the test fixtures your suite expects
- ✓Shareable URLs — QA engineers access the environment via a unique URL. No VPN, no SSH
Full-Stack
Test Parity.
Same database, same services, same config as production. Test against real infrastructure — not mocked APIs and SQLite stubs.
- ✓Production-grade stack — Docker Compose, Helm, and Terraform components in a single environment
- ✓Real databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB — same engine and version as production. No SQLite substitutes
- ✓Service mesh parity — message queues, caches, search indexes — all running, all connected
- ✓Config mirroring — environment variables, feature flags, and secrets match production exactly
Parallel Test
Execution.
Run multiple test suites across multiple environments simultaneously. Performance tests, smoke tests, migration dry-runs — all in parallel.
- ✓Multi-environment parallelism — spin up separate environments for each test suite. No resource contention
- ✓Wall-clock reduction — run 4 suites in the time it takes to run 1. Total duration equals your longest suite
- ✓CI/CD native — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins — trigger parallel runs from your existing pipeline
- ✓Independent results — each suite reports independently. A failing perf test does not block your smoke tests
Auto-Provisioned.
Auto-Destroyed.
Environments spin up when tests start and tear down when tests complete. No orphaned QA servers. No cost drift.
- ✓Event-driven lifecycle — CI pipeline starts the environment, test completion triggers teardown
- ✓Zero orphaned resources — no forgotten QA servers running over the weekend. Automatic cleanup guaranteed
- ✓Cost tracking — Kubecost integration shows per-environment spend. Know exactly what testing costs
- ✓TTL policies — set maximum lifetimes on QA environments. Safety net against stuck pipelines
Your entire testing workflow,
accelerated.
Dedicated environments per cycle
Every test cycle gets its own isolated, full-stack environment. No waiting for shared staging. No cross-team interference.
Test before merge
Run your test suite against a production-grade environment before the PR merges. Catch regressions before they reach main.
Standardized test infrastructure
Define QA environment templates once. Every team gets the same stack, same config, same guarantees. No snowflake setups.
Validate releases in isolation
Spin up a release candidate environment, run the full regression suite, and promote with confidence. Every release tested independently.
Load test on real infra
Run load tests against production-grade infrastructure. Measure p99 latency, throughput, and resource utilization on real services.
Faster release cycles
Parallel testing and automated infrastructure cut QA cycle time from days to hours. Ship releases faster without cutting corners.
Production-grade QA in minutes, not days.
Free tier includes 5 environments. No credit card required. Free white-glove onboarding.
Teams that transformed
their QA workflow.
“Manual tests on Argo CD PRs now take me seconds. When you review dozens of PRs a day, that's a game-changer.”
“Automatically created BunnyShell environment based on PRs, speeding up the entire task implementation process.”
“The automation and scalability that Bunnyshell provides complements the DigitalOcean platform, empowering developers to build amazing products.”
“Websites don't die anymore, sales keep growing sustained by state-of-the-art tech scalability. Customers send thank you cards.”
“From a release once in 2-4 weeks to multiple times per week, and nobody's stressed about it.”
“I can count on an integrated platform for managing our infrastructure — capabilities we don't have in-house, at a fraction of the cost.”
“I can do with Bunnyshell and a DevOps person what my clients are doing with 4 DevOps people.”
“Developers want convenience. They expect someone to translate their Docker Compose to the cloud. They're not going to rush to learn Kubernetes.”
“Bunnyshell was the only tool that handled our Helm + EKS setup without asking us to change everything.”
“60+ microservices. Bunnyshell deploys them in parallel and lets us control which ones come first.”
Enterprise-grade security.
Your data stays in your cloud.
Bunnyshell connects to YOUR Kubernetes cluster. Your code and data never leave your infrastructure. SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 9001 compliant.
RBAC
Three-layer permission model: Policies, Resource Selectors, and Teams. Granular enough for enterprise.
SSO
Enterprise single sign-on. Integrate with your existing identity provider.
Network Isolation
Dedicated Kubernetes namespace per environment. Pods accessible only within their namespace.
Secrets Management
Environment variables and secrets handled securely. Never hard-coded, always encrypted.
IP Whitelisting
Restrict access to specific IP ranges. Control who can reach your environments.
Audit Logs
Full audit trail for every environment action. Who deployed what, when, and where.

A QA testing environment is a full-stack, isolated copy of your application — frontend, backend, database, and infrastructure — provisioned on demand for a specific test cycle. It replicates your production stack so your tests run against real services, not mocked endpoints.
Every test cycle deserves its own environment.
