The Deployment History page gives you a complete record of all past preview environments, with the ability to redeploy them with a single click.

How It Works

When an environment is destroyed (manually or by TTL expiration), its metadata and Docker image are archived automatically. This means you can:

  • View all past deployments with full details
  • Redeploy any archived environment instantly
  • Track deployment patterns over time
Deployment history is available for all plans (Individual and Business).

Viewing History

Navigate to Dashboard > History to see a table of all archived deployments. Each record shows:

ColumnDescription
EnvironmentThe original URL of the preview
LabelOptional label assigned during deployment
RegionDeployment region (US, EU, APAC, LATAM)
TypeProject type (node, python, go, etc.)
TTLThe TTL duration that was set
CreatedWhen the environment was first deployed
ArchivedWhen the environment was destroyed or expired

Filtering & Pagination

  • Region filter: Filter the list by deployment region using the dropdown
  • Pagination: History is paginated with 10 records per page. Use the Previous/Next buttons to navigate

Redeploying

Click the redeploy button (circular arrow icon) next to any history record to create a new environment from the archived Docker image.

When redeploying:

  • The original subdomain and URL are reused if available
  • If the subdomain is already taken (409 conflict), a new random subdomain is assigned
  • The new environment gets a fresh TTL based on your current plan defaults
  • You are redirected to the Environments page to see the new deployment

Deleting History Records

Click the delete button (trash icon) to permanently remove a history record. You will be asked to confirm before deletion.

Archive Process

The archiving happens automatically and is best-effort:

  • When an environment is destroyed or expires, the API sends the metadata to the Dashboard
  • The Docker image is preserved in the regional Zot registry for future redeployment
  • If the Dashboard is temporarily unreachable, the environment is cleaned up normally (including image deletion)
  • Redeployed environments that are subsequently destroyed do not create duplicate history entries.
