Perplexity

Direct CI/CD Integration

Trigger production builds instantly by using `trigger_build` inside your editor. This allows you to push updates to your Northflank services without switching context. You can keep an eye on your background tasks with `list_jobs`. It provides a clear view of all active batch and cron processes in your project.

Infrastructure as Code Assistance

Use `create_project` to bootstrap new environments as you define your infrastructure. Use `get_project` to grab metadata for your services, ensuring your configuration files match the actual cloud state. If you need to clean up, `delete_project` removes the entire project boundary. This is ideal for managing short-lived feature branch environments.

Service Debugging and Auditing

Run `list_services` to see exactly what is running in your project. If a service needs a refresh, `restart_service` handles the container recycling for you. Use `list_secrets` to audit the environment variables currently injected into your services. This helps you catch configuration errors before they reach production.
