Guarded Release
Release Policies (Early Access)
We’ve introduced Release Policies in Early Access to make Guardian easier to use as the default release method, one of the top requests from Guardian customers.
The first version lets you:
- Define a scope for a policy (currently environments, with more options coming)
- Set a preferred release method (for example: “On production, Guarded Releases is the default”)
- Choose automatic or manual rollbacks
- Configure minimum sample size requirements (helpful for lower-traffic environments)
Release Policies will expand over the next few months alongside Guardrail Metrics, Global Metric Thresholds, and Release Templates, working toward our goal of zero-configuration Guardian rollouts.
Early Access is limited; reach out to your account team if you’d like to participate.
