Release governance
Governance here means clear owners, documented promotion steps, and automation that enforces them—not extra meetings. This page outlines how we structure that work during engagements.
Discovery workshop
We inventory current deploy paths, secrets handling, and on-call expectations. Outputs include a risk-ranked backlog and a draft promotion diagram tied to your environments.
Gate design
Each gate—build, test, staging soak, production—gets entry criteria, artifacts produced, and who can approve exceptions. We align gates with tools you already license where possible.
Automation delivery
Implementation sprints focus on one vertical slice: for example, container promotion from staging to production with automated smoke verification and a rehearsed rollback note.
Handover
Runbooks, pipeline diagrams, and a short checklist for future releases are delivered in your wiki or repository so internal teams inherit the system.
