FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers for the moments between an integration branch and a release window.

Can I use Northstar from CI?

Yes. Create a service token with the project and deployment scopes your job needs, then store it in your CI secret manager.

What happens when an event cannot be delivered?

We retry with exponential backoff for 24 hours. The delivery log records every attempt, response code, and next retry time.

How do I rotate a token?

Create a replacement token, update the consuming service, verify a request, then revoke the old token from Access control.

Do deleted projects remove audit history?

Project content is removed, while an immutable deletion record is retained for 30 days for workspace administrators.
