I remember a few companies ago we had a system that would deploy every branch to a separate subdomain (same name as the PR) that you could access. It was fantastically useful for just seeing what the deployed code would look like. I think (for UI things at least) this is a very reasonable solution.

Wish I could remember the github service that did this?

There is already Vercel, Netlify, etc. that support this feature.

You can also easily do your own version with Cloudfront and S3 or just a custom nginx config.

Vercel and Netlify do PR reviews these days. Was it in the JS space?

I think render.com is going to I introduce this soon too.

the neame is review app, it's on heroku since forever, also in gitlab ops today.
