Release Pipelines
Release Pipelines enable sophisticated, multi-stage rollout strategies that respect your infrastructure boundaries, providing greater control over feature deployments.
Release Pipeline is currently in Beta. Statsig team is working on adding more features around it. Please see the Current Limitations section below for current limitations. Please reach out to us if you have questions.
Release Pipeline is an Enterprise feature. Please reach out to our support team, your sales contact, or via our slack channel if you need to enable Enterprise features as you try out Statsig.
When to Use Release Pipelines
Consider implementing Release Pipelines when you need to:
- Implement infrastructure-aware deployment strategies beyond what traditional feature flags offer
- Safely roll out changes in complex, distributed systems with minimal risk
- Deploy progressively across environments (dev → staging → prod)
- Target specific infrastructure segments with precision (e.g., prod-us-west → prod-us-east → prod-eu)
- Control progression between stages with time intervals or manual approvals
- Monitor each deployment stage before proceeding to the next
- Enable instant rollbacks if issues arise during any phase
Especially valuable for:
- Platform engineering teams managing multi-environment, multi-region infrastructure
- DevOps practitioners implementing progressive delivery strategies
- SREs responsible for maintaining system reliability across complex deployments
- Organizations with mission-critical services that cannot afford downtime
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Release Pipeline | Defines the complete release strategy for a feature gate or dynamic config change |
| Phase | A distinct stage in the pipeline with specific conditions targeting designated release segments |
| Trigger | An event initiated when a feature gate or dynamic config starts using a Release Pipeline |
| Action | Controls that can be applied to an active Trigger to manage the release process |
Getting Started
Release Pipeline is currently only supported in Statsig's Server Core SDKs. Legacy SDKs will continue to work but will not get the full features of release pipelines.
Follow these tutorials to begin implementing Release Pipelines:
Current Limitations
- Experiments are not supported in release pipeline
- Resalt/Disable/Delete/Archive/Launch actions won’t trigger a release pipeline
- Scheduled rollouts are not supported to work in conjunction with release pipeline
