# Release Pipeline Overview

> Learn about Release Pipelines for sophisticated, multi-stage rollout strategies across environments

Release Pipelines enable sophisticated, multi-stage rollout strategies that respect your infrastructure boundaries, providing greater control over feature deployments.

<Info>
  Release Pipeline is currently in Beta. Statsig team is working on adding more features around it. Please see the [Current Limitations section](#current-limitations) below for current limitations. Please reach out to us if you have questions.

<Info>
  Release Pipeline is an Enterprise feature.  Please reach out to our [support team](mailto:support@statsig.com), your sales contact, or via our slack channel if you need to enable Enterprise features as you try out Statsig.

## When to Use Release Pipelines

Consider implementing Release Pipelines when you need to:

* Implement infrastructure-aware deployment strategies beyond what traditional feature flags offer
* Safely roll out changes in complex, distributed systems with minimal risk
* Deploy progressively across environments (dev → staging → prod)
* Target specific infrastructure segments with precision (e.g., prod-us-west → prod-us-east → prod-eu)
* Control progression between stages with time intervals or manual approvals
* Monitor each deployment stage before proceeding to the next
* Enable instant rollbacks if issues arise during any phase

**Especially valuable for:**

* Platform engineering teams managing multi-environment, multi-region infrastructure
* DevOps practitioners implementing progressive delivery strategies
* SREs responsible for maintaining system reliability across complex deployments
* Organizations with mission-critical services that cannot afford downtime

## Key Concepts

| Concept              | Description                                                                                     |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Release Pipeline** | Defines the complete release strategy for a feature gate or dynamic config change               |
| **Phase**            | A distinct stage in the pipeline with specific conditions targeting designated release segments |
| **Trigger**          | An event initiated when a feature gate or dynamic config starts using a Release Pipeline        |
| **Action**           | Controls that can be applied to an active Trigger to manage the release process                 |

## Getting Started

<Note>
  Release Pipeline is currently only supported in Statsig's [Server Core SDKs](https://www.statsig.com/blog/introducing-statsig-server-core-v0-1-0). Legacy SDKs will continue to work but will not get the full features of release pipelines.
</Note>

Follow these tutorials to begin implementing Release Pipelines:

* [Create and Manage Release Pipelines](/release-pipeline/create-and-manage)
* [Trigger a Release Pipeline](/release-pipeline/trigger)
* [Manage an Ongoing Release Pipeline](/release-pipeline/actions)

## Current Limitations

* Experiments are not supported in release pipeline
* Resalt/Disable/Delete/Archive/Launch actions won’t trigger a release pipeline
* [Scheduled rollouts](/feature-flags/scheduled-rollouts) are not supported to work in conjunction with release pipeline
