This is a really cool project. When I worked at Uber, the team built a custom release train called Metro, automating as much as possible, integrating with various internal tools and touchpoints. It worked really well: except if you want this, you need to build it yourself.

When I researched my book Building Mobile Apps at Scale [1], the best advice I could give for large teams and release trains is… maybe build one yourself? Given I didn’t know of any products that would work from medium to large teams.

It’s great to see someone tackling this problem space. You should talk with Uber’s mobile platform for some hard-learned lessons when building Metro.

It's definitely a problem area that's currently tricky to tackle properly for all but the largest of teams/orgs. Building in-house is often a luxury, and one which requires a big investment not just up front but into the future with upkeep and support. Of course it's nice to have a custom solution, but we've been working hard to make Runway flexible and able to adapt to every team's specific workflows and processes.

PS - thanks for the kind words - we're big fans of the book! Maybe you can squeeze us into a second edition? :)
