Puerta, a gating service for Flagger
summary
Puerta is a homegrown gating service that extends FluxCD + Flagger to enforce real behaviors: Puerta implements Flagger webhook phases, it runs a pre-rollout CircleCI E2E job (Playwright + gRPC clients) and blocks traffic until success, it enforces time-based rollout windows to avoid nights/weekends, and it queues and annotates releases, creates GitHub releases on success, and pushes verbose events to a central store with curated developer DMs. The claim is concrete and operational: gates stop bad canaries, preserve audit logs, and let small frequent merges reach production safely.
