Create and Manage Release Pipelines

Creating a new pipeline

To create a new Release Pipeline:

1. Log into the Statsig console
2. Navigate to Settings > Feature Management
3. Under Release Pipelines, click the Create button
4. Enter a descriptive name for your pipeline
5. Click Create to proceed to the configuration page

Configuring phases

Each pipeline consists of one or more phases, with each phase representing a distinct release target.

Adding phases

For each phase in your pipeline:

1. Add one or more release rules
2. Select a required Environment for the rule
3. Optionally add custom field conditions for more precise targeting

Setting phase transitions

Control how your phases progress with these transition options:

:::note You can combine both options in a single phase. When both are used, the time interval only begins counting down after someone gives the required approval. :::

Managing existing pipelines

Updating a pipeline

To modify an existing pipeline:

1. Click on the pipeline name from the list
2. Make your edits to any section
3. Click Save to apply your changes

Important: You can't modify pipelines with active rollouts in progress until those rollouts complete or you stop them.

Viewing pipeline references

There are two ways to see which feature gates and dynamic configs are currently using a pipeline:

1. Project Settings

   • Navigate to Project Settings
   • Click on the Feature Management menu in the left-rail
   • Navigate to Release Pipelines section
   • Click on the References column against each Release Pipeline
   • This shows all feature gates and dynamic configs that are currently attached to a specific pipeline

   

2. Feature Gates / Dynamic Configs Page

   • Navigate to Feature Gates / Dynamic Config list view
   • Filter by 'Release Pipeline' current status
   • This shows all feature gates and dynamic configs with an ongoing release pipeline

   

Opting out environments from Release Pipelines

By default, all environments trigger Release Pipelines when changes are made. You can configure specific environments to be exempt from this behavior.

When you opt an environment out from Release Pipelines:

• Changes made exclusively to that environment don't trigger a Release Pipeline.
• This allows quick environment-specific adjustments without starting the full release process.

How to opt out an environment

To exclude an environment from triggering Release Pipelines:

1. Navigate to Settings in the Statsig console
2. Under Keys & Environments, select Environments
3. Click on the environment you wish to opt out
4. Unselect the Pipeline-required Environment option
5. Click Save to apply your changes
