Release

Release, initially named TBD - Project Spacedust, operates from Los Angeles, CA, and serves primarily the United States and Canada. As a participant in the Y-Combinator W20 batch, the company has grown to a team of 26 employees. Release specializes in the B2B sector, particularly focusing on engineering, product, and design. The company’s core offering is the provision of isolated, full-stack environments for development, testing, and production, which are automatically generated with every Pull Request. This service effectively eliminates the bottleneck associated with having a single staging environment by providing on-demand environments in minutes. Release supports a Git-centric development experience and integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes, enhancing its capability to offer ephemeral AI environments in partnership with NVIDIA. The platform is deeply integrated into the software development life cycles, providing first-class support and guidance throughout the onboarding and development stages. Additionally, Release integrates with popular tools such as GitHub, Bitbucket, Slack, and email, and supports the running of custom code, including Terraform. Environments can be easily created and torn down without leaving Git/pull requests, and templates can be generated from Docker Compose files.
