Branch deploys at any scale

" summary

Branch deploys put a branch into production before merge, cutting reverts to almost zero and shortening verification to a live trial; companies at scale and small teams use GitHub Actions as a provider, a persisted deploy record in a database, and webhooks to track status and notify Slack. Implementations include a deploy queue, per-target and per-user locks, checks for mergeability and passing tests, and the ability to cancel or roll back, all built easily in Python.
