Release Care

Keep releases fast without hiring for upkeep.

After the build, someone has to upgrade, patch and fix the pipelines. Release Care does it for a fixed monthly fee, reports the numbers every month, and hands everything back in the month you want to own it.

Business hours are 09:00 to 17:00 CET, or an agreed overlap window for North America. The monthly report covers deploys, lead time, failed releases, recovery time, upkeep done and improvements shipped.

Terms

The first three months are fixed, then it runs monthly with 30 days' notice.
Invoiced on the last business day of the month.
Care Plus: an improvement counts as shipped when it is merged, or when it is delivered and left unreviewed for 5 business days. If a month's improvement misses for reasons on our side, that month is billed at the Release Care price.
Leave any month after the first three and you get a handover session and current documentation at no charge.
Not included: 24/7 on-call, new release flows (priced as a Build), application code, infrastructure outside the pipelines.

Why it works

We keep the pipelines running ourselves, with a partner engineer as backup. Your admins keep full control and can remove access at any time.

At Nike, we trained the other release engineers on the tooling, so the knowledge did not sit with one person.

“Mateusz also produces clear, effective documentation that supports long-term maintainability and cross-team knowledge sharing. He is proactive, self-motivated, and deeply committed to quality and continuous improvement.”
