Remarks

ReviewApp deploys every pull request from your Git repository to a dynamic environment resource. Reviewers can see how those changes look as well as work with other dependent services before they’re merged into the main branch and deployed to production. This will make it easy for you to create and manage reviewApp resources and benefit from all the traceability and diagnosis capability of the environment features. By using the reviewApp keyword, you can create a clone of a resource (dynamically create a new resource based on an existing resource in an environment) and add the new resource to the environment.
