SERVERLAUNCH
Use GitHub Actions with a controlled VPS release process.
GitHub Actions can trigger build and validation work, while your VPS deployment process should still preserve environment boundaries and release evidence.
Trigger from a reviewed branch
Run the workflow from a branch and commit your team has reviewed, instead of treating every local change as deployable.
Protect environment values
Keep secrets and per-environment configuration separate from application source and make access explicit.
Verify after deployment
Make health checks and logs part of the release result so an automated deployment is still observable.
