Automatic redeployment on git push

Mar 5, 2026

Services will now automatically rebuild and update when you `git push` to your repository.

What is Keel#

Keel is a Kubernetes operator that watches for new container image tags and triggers rolling updates automatically. It runs inside your cluster and listens for webhook notifications from container registries (Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, etc.).

When a new image tag is published, Keel receives the webhook, matches it against your deployment's image policy, and initiates a rolling update. No CI/CD pipeline changes needed.

How it works in Suga#

When you deploy a service through Suga, we configure Keel's image update policy for that deployment. Push a new tag to your registry, and Keel handles the rest: it detects the new tag, updates the deployment spec, and Kubernetes rolls out the new pods.

This is particularly useful for teams that build images in external CI systems (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, etc.) and want deployments to update automatically without triggering a full redeploy through the Suga dashboard.
