About Release
Release is the first EaaS (Environments as a Service) Platform. Release is the simplest way to spin up even the most complicated environments. We specialize in taking your complicated application and data and making reproducible environments on-demand. We are the control-plane the cloud is missing! Release recently raised a $20M A-round led by CRV and others. https://releasehub.com/blog/releasehub-20-million-series-a-led-by-crv
Our customers use us for staging environments, QA environments, developer environments, running production and we even offer our customers the ability to run their code in their customers VPCs (their cloud accounts). Our VPC product is a 2020s version of on-premise deployments.
Why you should join Release
Every company that is building software has to manage environments. This is time consuming and takes away from building things customers want. Most companies have one or few staging environments that become bottlenecks as code must run in staging before releasing to production. Applications are also getting more and more complex and development is getting harder to do on your laptop. Release solves these problems by making repeatable environments for every developer on every Pull Request.
