Hey, Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Gabriel, one of the co-founders of Runway. I was an iOS engineer for my entire career before Runway, and I’ve had to run my fair share of mobile rollouts. When you’re running an app rollout post-release, you’re in the hot seat. Your team is relying on you to make sense of a whole bunch of different indicators of release health, across multiple tools, and maybe with input from multiple other teams and stakeholders as well. You need to continuously digest all of those inputs and be ready to make a big call — to halt the rollout if needed — without hesitating. Rollouts are hard because they’re simultaneously complex and mission-critical. They involve many moving pieces, in tools and data and stakeholders collaborating, and your team has to get them right, each and every time — otherwise the negative impact to users can be huge. Without a single source of truth, rollouts typically involve bouncing between different dashboards and looping in other team members with the know-how to interpret particular data. For example, while engineers are usually the ones monitoring crash data, it’s often product managers who own analytics and who understand expected user behavior. Both inputs are crucial. And despite the complexity of the tools and data, interpretation and action on signals of release health has to be quick and confident. Teams can’t afford to lose any time in halting a bad rollout before it affects even more users. As former mobile engineers ourselves, the Runway team and I have experienced the challenge of rollouts firsthand — and now, we’ve built something that can help. We’re excited to announce Rollouts, a new part of the Runway platform that helps your team navigate rollouts with less collective stress, and more confidence. Rollouts allows you to easily keep tabs on release health in just one place instead of many, alerts you whenever configured metrics become unhealthy, and safeguards release health by automatically halting rollouts based on thresholds you define. Here are some highlights: 🗺 The only complete picture of release health Rollouts integrates with the mix of different tools you use to measure app health – crash reporting, observability & product analytics, the app stores (for per-version user ratings) – to create a single source of truth and unified dashboard that gives your team a holistic and instantly understandable view of release health at a glance. No more context-switching, no more mental overhead. 🌡 You define exactly what “healthy” means for your team Across all tools and every metric, you can configure granular thresholds that together define what “healthy” looks like for your team. Runway will surface a crystal clear view of how each release is tracking relative to that definition. With expectations around health codified this way, there’s no room for ambiguity or hand-waving when it comes to your team’s standards for quality of the product you’re shipping. 🚨 Avoid blind spots and delays with instant alerting The moment any of your configured metrics become unhealthy during a rollout, Runway will alert your team, in specific channels of your choosing and with full context on which metrics are problematic. You can be confident that no bad trends will go unnoticed – and that they can be acted on more quickly. 🛑 Automatically halt unhealthy rollouts Building on the custom thresholds you define, Runway can automatically halt unhealthy releases. With this automation enabled, if certain metrics of your choosing fall afoul of your acceptable thresholds during a rollout, Runway will automatically stop the rollout and alert your team. This prevents delays and human error, saving you from the negative consequences of a bad release making it out to even more users. (Available on the Runway Pro plan and above.) 💨 Automatically accelerate healthy rollouts If all of your metrics are looking good and your rollout has reached a minimum number of users you define, Runway can accelerate things and release to all users immediately. Getting a good release out to all users more quickly can be just as impactful as halting a bad release! (Available on the Runway Pro plan and above.) We’d love for you all to give Rollouts a try! You can sign up for a free trial via the Runway site, no credit card required, and we’re also happy to give folks a guided walkthrough as well – just get in touch!

I need this product. Congratulations on the launch!!

This is great Runway team! Solved the pre-release problem and now tackling the post-release problem. Those few days afterwards can be a true moment of anxiety and looking forward to using the solution.

Checking this out!

very cool, congrats on launch
