A popular feature offered by Heroku is their Review Apps solution. It generates a disposable environment and instance of an app during a pull request (PR), and after merging the PR, it destroys the temp environment.

Once the app is pushed to a higher environment, the review app is destroyed — rinse and repeat per feature.

The primary functionality for review apps is that upon a developer creating a pull request (PR) in source control, the deployment pipeline will build a copy of the app and host it in an isolated environment with unique URL for others to review.
