“What version is live in production right now?”

Silence.

If you’ve ever been in a production incident, you know this moment too well.

Someone asks what changed.
You don’t have the answer.

So the hunt begins:

  • Checking server logs

  • Opening Git history

  • Comparing timestamps

  • Asking DevOps

  • Guessing deployments

20 minutes gone. Still unsure.

This should not be happening in 2024.

The Problem We All Ignore

Most teams deploy fast — but forget visibility.

Once code is live, basic questions become hard:

  • When was this deployed?

  • Which commit is running?

  • Who pushed it?

  • How many times have we deployed?

These should be one-liners, not investigations.

Introducing deploy-info 📦

I built deploy-info, a tiny Node.js utility that tells you exactly what’s running in production — instantly.

No dashboards.
No external services.
No configuration files.

Just install it once and forget the problem forever.

👉 npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/deploy-info
👉 GitHub repo: https://github.com/huzaifa-io/deploy-info

What You Get Instantly

With deploy-info, you can access:

  • ✅ Exact deployment time
