Release
Platform for creating and managing on-demand, ephemeral environments that accelerate development workflows and optimize DevOps costs.
Product Overview
What is Release?
Release is a cloud-native platform designed to simplify environment management by enabling instant creation of full-stack, ephemeral environments for development, testing, staging, and production. It automates infrastructure management, integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, and supports running environments in both Release's cloud and users' own cloud accounts. By removing environment bottlenecks, Release empowers teams to focus on delivering value while reducing operational overhead and costs.
