Extension summary

Houston Cookie Manager lets you see all versions of your site that are currently deployed and preview a specific version, even if it's not exposed to any of your customers.

Why would you want to do this?

— Test the latest version before you release to your customers. — Show your product manager the new UI that's still on a branch, using real data. — Make sure you really did fix that bug that only appears in production. — Debug a bad release after rolling it back.

Getting started is easy! It's just 3 steps:

  1. Download this extension.
  2. Install Houston. Sign up at turbinelabs.io.
  3. Modify the end of your CI/CD pipeline to deploy new versions side-by-side, as if you're going to do a blue/green release.
