Frequently Asked Questions
How long does GitHub integration take?
Integration takes about 5-10 minutes. Connect your GitHub account via OAuth or access token, configure webhook endpoints, and DeepCost will start integrating with your pipeline workflows immediately.
What GitHub permissions does DeepCost need?
DeepCost requires read access to repositories and pipelines, plus webhook permissions to receive deployment events. We never request write access to your code or pipeline configurations.
Is my GitHub data secure?
Yes, all API tokens and webhooks use encrypted connections. We only access deployment metadata and never read source code or secrets. All data is SOC 2 compliant and encrypted at rest.
Can I integrate multiple GitHub organizations or projects?
Absolutely. DeepCost supports multiple GitHub accounts, organizations, and projects. You can manage all your deployments from a single dashboard with consolidated cost visibility.
How does cost tracking work with deployments?
DeepCost automatically correlates deployments with infrastructure cost changes, giving you visibility into the cost impact of each release. You'll see cost trends before and after deployments within 24 hours.
