Graveyard — Overview

A pre-deployment verification platform that answers one question: "Is it safe to deploy this to production?"

Last updated: 2026-04-30


What Is Graveyard?

Graveyard is a unified pre-deployment verification tool that combines security scans, test results, infrastructure checks, cost estimation, dependency health, and compliance validation into a single GO/NO-GO decision before every deployment.

Teams today use 5-7 different tools (Trivy, Checkov, CI/CD dashboards, monitoring, etc.) and mentally combine the results before deciding to deploy. Graveyard does this automatically.

The Problem

Every engineering team asks "should we deploy this?" before pushing to production. Today they answer it by:

  • Checking CI/CD — did tests pass?
  • Checking security scans — any vulnerabilities?
  • Checking K8s configs — resources set? HPA configured?
  • Checking dependencies — are third-party APIs healthy?
  • Estimating cost — will this blow the cloud bill?
  • Verifying compliance — does this meet our policies?

Nobody combines all of these into one view. Teams do it manually, inconsistently, and sometimes skip checks entirely. Bad deployments cost companies an average of $1M+ per incident.

The Solution

A single command or API call that runs all checks and returns a unified decision:

$ graveyard check
✅ Tests:        142/142 passed (98% coverage)
✅ Security:     0 critical, 2 medium vulns
✅ K8s Config:   Resources set, HPA configured
⚠️ Dependencies: Stripe API degraded
✅ Compliance:   CIS 4/5 checks passed
✅ Cost Impact:  +$12/mo estimated

Overall: 🟡 DEPLOY WITH CAUTION
Reason: Stripe API showing latency spikes

Long-Term Vision

Graveyard evolves through three phases:

  1. v1 (2026-2028): Pre-deployment check runner (CLI + dashboard)
  2. v2 (2028-2031): Deployment policy engine (org-specific rules)
  3. v3 (2031+): Deployment governance & compliance platform (regulatory)
