Thanks so much for this comment. Do you have a single person tracking the state of all the canaries, or are developers responsible for their own release cycles,

  Developers are responsible for their own releases. We have a lot of tooling around our canaries that helps keep track of everything. A lot of stuff happens via chat; we have a chatbot that creates a channel for every canary, and invites everyone that has any code in the release (and interested parties that want to know whenever code is released to a certain platform). It tells the room whenever there are conflicts, and will say information about the canary as it progresses. You can also control the canary, advancing or reverting via commands in the channel. Whoever is advancing the canary is responsible for checking the A-B graphs for any problems, and verifying that everything is working before advancing. The system will tell you if it sees issues, but it is up to the person who wrote the code to make sure things are good.
