A practical guide to developer workflow platform
What to look for when evaluating a developer workflow platform, and the mistakes teams make.
Forge Workflow is a developer-workflow platform that orchestrates CI/CD, code review, and release across your stack. It runs reliably, recovers automatically, and gives engineering teams a single place to ship.

Define CI, code review, and release stages in one pipeline that spans your build, test, and deploy steps across services.
When a runner crashes or a step times out, Forge retries from the last durable checkpoint instead of restarting the whole pipeline.
Trigger pipelines and post status checks directly on pull and merge requests in GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
Block releases behind required approvals and passing checks, so code only ships once review and tests are satisfied.
Push pipeline status, approval requests, and deploy results to Slack channels so the team sees every release in real time.
Link your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repositories and grant Forge access to trigger on commits and pull requests.
Declare your CI, review, and release stages in a pipeline file committed alongside your code.
Forge runs each pipeline on your runners, recovers failed steps automatically, and reports results back to Git and Slack.
Run targeted build and test stages per affected service and gate a single coordinated release across the monorepo.
Promote a build through staging and production with approval gates and automatic rollback on failed deploy steps.
Run checks and require review approvals on every pull request before merges are allowed to land.
Forge Workflow integrates with the tools you rely on.
We're a young company and growing carefully — here's honest feedback from teams using Forge Workflow today.
“We moved a staging stack over in an afternoon and the bill finally stopped surprising us. Ship reliably with workflows that just run.”

“Setup was genuinely same-day, and when we had a question the team replied in the chat within minutes.”

Forge Workflow is SOC 2 Type II certified, supports SAML SSO and SCIM, and runs untrusted workloads in isolated micro-VMs. Forge Workflow supports SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning, offers per-customer data isolation, and shares its security documentation, DPA, and security-questionnaire responses with teams in evaluation — just ask in the sales chat.
Forge tracks durable checkpoints for each step and resumes from the last completed checkpoint on a healthy runner, so an interrupted deploy continues rather than starting over.
Forge connects to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket to trigger pipelines and report status checks on pull and merge requests.
Pipelines execute on concurrent runners; the free tier includes two, and you add capacity by increasing the number of concurrent runners available to your team.
Yes, you can configure review gates that block a release until required approvals and status checks pass on the associated pull or merge request.
