Triggering Release Pipelines

A Release Pipeline is activated when you make changes to a feature gate or dynamic config that has a pipeline attached to it.

Attaching a Pipeline​

Before triggering a release, you must first attach a pipeline to your feature gate or dynamic config. The Statsig console offers two methods for attaching a Release Pipeline.

During Feature Creation​

You can select a Release Pipeline directly in the creation modal when setting up a new feature gate or dynamic config:

To an Existing Feature​

For an existing feature gate or dynamic config, you can attach a Release Pipeline through the sidebar settings:

Note: You must have at least one Release Pipeline created before it will appear in the dropdown menu. See Create and Manage Pipelines for instructions on creating pipelines.

Starting a Rollout​

When a Release Pipeline is attached, making changes to your feature gate or dynamic config will automatically initiate the pipeline process:

  1. Make your desired changes to the feature gate or dynamic config
  2. Click Save to commit the changes
  3. A confirmation dialog will appear, informing you that changes will progress through the pipeline
  4. Review the information and click Confirm to proceed

The system will then begin the rollout following the phases defined in the attached pipeline.

Viewing Release Status​

Once a Release Pipeline is triggered, you can monitor its progress:

  1. At the top of the feature gate or dynamic config page, a status banner will appear
  2. This banner displays the current phase and overall progress through the pipeline

Frequently Asked Questions​

Q: Can I attach different Release Pipelines to different feature gates?
A: Yes, each feature gate or dynamic config can use a different pipeline based on its specific rollout needs. However, a single feature gate or dynamic config can only have one Release Pipeline attached at a time.

Q: What happens if I need to cancel a release in progress?
A: You can abort an ongoing release using the actions menu in the release details view. See Managing Release Actions for complete instructions on how to abort a release.
