APIVerve Checks
Production-readiness gates for Azure Pipelines — catch the failures nobody notices until 2am. Powered by APIVerve.
Tasks
| Task |
What it does |
| SSL Certificate Expiry Gate |
Fails the run when a domain's certificate is expired, invalid, or expiring within your threshold |
| Domain Expiration Gate |
Fails the run when a domain registration is about to lapse |
| DNS Record Assertion |
Asserts a record type exists and optionally contains an expected value — catches botched DNS changes post-deploy |
| Email Auth Check |
Validates SPF / DKIM / DMARC; fails on missing or invalid records |
| APIVerve Call |
Calls any of 368+ APIVerve APIs and exposes the result as an output variable |
Every gate has a warn threshold (annotates the run) and a fail threshold (stops it) — you hear about problems weeks before they become outages:
