Release
Ephemeral preview environments for shipping with AI-generated code
Release is a platform for creating full-stack, production-like ephemeral preview environments for every pull request and AI coding agent. Environments are provisioned on demand in the customer's own cloud account and include databases, background workers, and other services, then torn down automatically when no longer needed. This lets teams verify AI-generated changes against a complete running application rather than a static diff.
Core capabilities include the Release MCP Server for conversational onboarding, environment management, and AI-powered log analysis, plus Instant Datasets for production-like test data. Environments run in AWS, GCP, or Azure accounts and can be created via CLI, API, or MCP. Additional products cover production environment management, on-premise delivery through Release Delivery, and AI workloads with Release.ai. The platform is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and supports GDPR and CCPA requirements.
Release targets development teams working with AI coding agents and complex, multi-service applications. Pricing details, editions, and packaging are described on the pricing page.
