release train

A release train that always runs on time

Q: Does Runway replace our existing CI/CD setup, or does it work alongside it?

Runway adds value across the entire release lifecycle and works alongside your existing CI/CD setup.

Q: What are the best practices for creating a predictable mobile release schedule?

Codify every release step and automate the process to create a predictable mobile release schedule.

Q: How do I set up a mobile release train that works for both iOS and Android?

Use one dashboard to manage releases for both iOS and Android platforms simultaneously.

Setting up a release train can help you ship new versions of your app more quickly and predictably, but only if you have the time, resources, and people in place to keep it on track. Runway provides the framework (and rails) upon which you can run a consistent, faster, repeatable release train.

Never give your release schedule a second thought

The key to successful release trains is maintaining a predictable — and non-negotiable — schedule. The difficult part, of course, is maintaining and enforcing that schedule while leaving little room for the sort of errors that can knock everything off track.

Runway helps your team codify your cadence with end-to-end automation that runs your train from kickoff to testing to submit to rollout.

“I think of Runway as unit tests for your release process: preventing common failure modes and making sure everything is in the right state along the way."

Justin Swart

Built-in guardrails keep your train on its tracks

You can write all the checklists and documentation you want, but that isn’t going to make anyone read or follow them closely. Or get anyone to keep them updated on a regular basis.

Runway’s automated approvals and checklists ensure you can achieve your ideal release process without ever even needing to try. Always do things by the book without ever needing to double check the book.

Bargaining over scope is out of scope

When teams squeeze work into a release, deadlines get missed. bugs get shipped to customers, and chaos ensues. If you can't maintain a ruthlessness around scope then the ensuing feature creep will slow you down while giving the illusion that you're speeding up.

Runway helps your team stay on target by setting clear expectations around milestones and serving as the final authority on the body of work shipping with a release.

“Discovering Runway has been like a dream for us: it really takes care of releases and lets our team focus on all the other important work on their plates.”

Juliana Lana

Does Runway replace our existing CI/CD setup, or does it work alongside it?

Runway works alongside CI/CD, not instead of it. Bitrise, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI handle builds while Runway adds value across the entire release lifecycle by coordinating what goes into a release before the build starts, managing store submissions, rollouts, approvals, and monitoring after it finishes. No migration, no rip-and-replace.

What are the best practices for creating a predictable mobile release schedule?

Establish a fixed cadence and treat it as a constraint, not a target. Codify every release step so any engineer can run it identically. Enforce scope cutoffs with tooling, not willpower. Runway automates the process, enforces scope boundaries with Feature Readiness, and provides guardrails that prevent steps from being skipped regardless of who's on rotation.

How do I set up a mobile release train that works for both iOS and Android?

Runway gives iOS and Android a single, shared release workflow — branch cut, approvals, store submissions, phased rollout — configured once and run automatically on every cycle. No duplicate processes, no context-switching between App Store Connect and Google Play Console. Both platforms ship on the same schedule from one dashboard.

Build a release train that never leaves the rails.
