GIT & SVN Auto-deploy

To greatly increase your productivity as a developer, Jelastic provides you with the possibility to set periodical automatic deployment of your project based on the changes you’ve committed via GIT/SVN repository.

You can work in GIT/SVN without ever leaving it. Simply update your code, make a commit and all of the changes in your VCS project will be automatically pushed to your production environment after a specified interval of time.

To set automatic updates of your project due to your commits in GIT tick the Check and Auto-deploy Updates checkbox in the Add project window and specify the interval for checking in minutes.

That’s all! Just make a small configuration while adding your project to the Jelastic Cloud and continue working with your code through GIT/SVN without even coming back to our dashboard again, being sure that everything is up-to-date on your production automatically!

SSO integration

Single Sign On (SSO) is intended to simplify the processes of balance refilling and opening of support tickets for all billing customers, if a hosting provider has a custom billing system.

If your hoster has in-house billing system and you want to open a support ticket (Help > Contact Support) or to refill account (Balance > Refill balance) the one-time link particularly for your request will be generated. With this link you’ll be redirected to the requested Hoster’s Portal or Billing panel sub-page respectively and automatically logged in without necessity to enter your credentials.

Cleverbridge billing system integration

Cleverbridge provides a single access point to all payment processing centers. That is why you can choose any payment method convenient for you among a wide range of available payment systems.

The processes of convertion and refilling is performed through the Jelastic dashboard. This provides you with a sufficient convenience while working. You don’t need to leave the Jelastic dashboard, to investigate some other systems admin panels or to remember any extra credentials. Just do all the needed steps via our user-friendly UI.
