Stacks

Save the services, options and account choices you launch with as a stack, so your next product starts from them.

A stack is a saved set of launch choices: the services, options, accounts and variable names you used for a product. The Stacks page lets you start the next product from one instead of choosing everything again.

A stack never holds a key, an id or a domain. It only remembers choices.

#Before you start

Stacks are used by the Launch playbook. Read Launch playbook first if you haven't launched a product yet.

#Create a stack

You can make a stack in two ways:

  • Open Stacks and select New stack.
  • Finish a launch and choose Save as a stack. It then appears on the Stacks page.

#What a stack shows

Each stack on the page shows when it was saved, its Environments, its Webhook path (or "not set"), and the list of services with the provider and the account each one uses. If an account has since been deleted, the stack says "account no longer exists". If something about a stack has changed since it was saved, a warning lists what.

#Start a launch from a stack

Select Start a launch on a stack. It opens the launch form with the stack's choices filled in.

#Edit, duplicate, rename, delete

  • Edit changes the stack's choices.
  • Duplicate makes a copy to change.
  • Rename changes only its name. Select Save name to confirm.
  • Delete asks you to confirm with Delete stack, or Keep it to cancel.
