Release Tracker

Chrome extension for AWS and GitHub

See what is deployed where, in one glance

Release Tracker puts every service and environment on one dashboard: version, commit, build status and health, straight from AWS and GitHub. The extension runs entirely in your browser: no backend, no account and no extension telemetry.

How it works

Features

Everything about a release, on one screen

Release Tracker combines AWS (Amplify, ECS, Lambda, App Runner, Elastic Beanstalk, CodePipeline, CloudFront and CloudFormation) with GitHub (Actions builds, commits and pull requests) for each service and environment.

One dashboard for every service

A card for each service with a panel per environment, or a compact table. Filter by status and search by name.

AWS and GitHub, together

Amplify, ECS, Lambda, App Runner, Elastic Beanstalk, CodePipeline, CloudFront and CloudFormation joined with GitHub Actions builds, commits and pull requests.

Commit, build, live

See the version, the commit and the build status for production, staging and development side by side.

Health at a glance

Load balancer targets and HTTP checks tell you whether what is live is also healthy.

Next release

Everything that is in staging but not yet in production, with pull request titles.

Straight to the source

Deep links to the AWS console and to pull requests, one click from the card.

Configure it your way

A form editor and a JSON editor that always agree. Copy, paste, import and export a versioned configuration.

Sign in like you already do

AWS IAM Identity Center (the same flow as aws sso login) and GitHub with a token or the OAuth device flow.

How it works

Up and running in four steps

  1. Install

    Add Release Tracker from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to the toolbar.

  2. Configure

    List your services and environments in the settings form, or paste a JSON configuration. It contains no secrets, so it is safe to share.

  3. Connect GitHub

    Add a read-only token, or sign in with the OAuth device flow, so the extension can read builds, commits and pull requests.

  4. Connect AWS

    Sign in with IAM Identity Center, the same flow as aws sso login. The sign-in renews itself, so you rarely repeat it.

Privacy first

Your data stays between your browser, GitHub and AWS

Credentials and data go only to GitHub and AWS, never to us. The policy spells out exactly what is stored and where requests go.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do I install it?

Install it from the Chrome Web Store: click Add to Chrome and confirm. Chrome keeps it up to date for you. Then pin it from the puzzle-piece menu in the toolbar, click its icon and follow the steps to connect GitHub and AWS.

Does it send my data anywhere?

No. There is no extension backend or telemetry. The extension talks only to GitHub, to AWS and to the health-check URLs you configure, directly from your browser. Nothing is sent to the developer. See the privacy policy for the details.

What is free and what is Pro?

The dashboard is free and has no time limit. For your first 30 days you also get everything in Pro: the links to the AWS console, to GitHub commits, pull requests and builds, the details of the next release, notifications and the local deploy history. After that those become part of Pro. The free plan still shows how many commits are waiting for the next release. Your configuration stays exportable at any time.

Which permissions does it need, and why?
  • storage: keeps your configuration, settings and the last snapshot in your browser.
  • alarms: schedules background refreshes.
  • notifications: shows system notifications.
  • GitHub hosts: reads builds, commits and pull requests.

Access to AWS hosts and to your health-check URLs is optional: Chrome asks for it only when you set those up, and you can revoke it at any time.

Which browsers are supported?

Google Chrome 120 or newer. Other browsers are not officially supported.

How do I ask for a feature or report a problem?

You can also write to support@release-tracker.com. A review on the Chrome Web Store helps too. Release Tracker grows with what its users ask for.

Is it open source?

The link to the source repository has not been published on this site yet.
