Core plugin

Checkpoints

Core plugin for versioned workspace releases — preview zones, sync, go live, and rollback.

Workspace release controls in Workspace Studio

What it is

Checkpoints is a Core-only plugin. It is not part of @norbital-ai/pod. On Core it turns workspace source into immutable, versioned releases with separate preview and production environments.

How it works

  1. Builders save draft source in Workspace Studio
  2. Sync preview runs norbital build in a sandbox and applies DDL to the preview database
  3. Teams verify apps and policies against preview data
  4. Go live promotes the checkpoint to production; rollback restores a prior release

Build & Deploy

Core manages norbital build inside sandboxed microVMs, versioned DDL, and Neon branch provisioning. Every commit to main triggers the unified deploy pipeline — merge-base PITR, COW DDL validation, and live promotion. Preview branches get isolated databases forks for review before merge.
