Company History
Release, initially known as 'TBD - Project Spacedust', was established to provide solutions that help streamline the development and deployment process in the B2B engineering, product, and design sectors. Over time, the company rebranded itself as Release and positioned itself within the industry by focusing on automating staging environments. As a participant in the Y-Combinator W20 batch, it has grown to a team of 26, operating primarily out of Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Services
Release delivers staging environments as a service, addressing the bottleneck caused by having a single staging environment. The platform automatically generates a staging environment with every Pull Request, offering isolated, full-stack environments for development, testing, and production in minutes. The service supports deep integration into software development life cycles and offers first-class support and guidance throughout onboarding and development.

It supports a Git-centric development experience and integrates with common development tools such as GitHub, Bitbucket, Slack, and email. The platform also supports running custom code, including Terraform, and can generate templates from Docker Compose files.
Partnerships and Collaborations
Release has established a partnership with NVIDIA to build ephemeral AI environments. This collaboration enables the company to provide advanced, temporary environments specifically tailored for AI projects. This partnership enhances Release's capability to support sophisticated development requirements and integrate more deeply with advanced technological frameworks.

Release operates primarily within the United States of America and extends its services to regions within America and Canada. The company's main office is based in Los Angeles, CA, which serves as the hub for its operations and development activities.
