It would be hard to count. Basically every customer we had on Release 1.0 was an iteration towards this. If you go to https://release.com it's there and we have many happy customers using it. There are definitely challenges

We spend a ton of time working directly with DevOps teams of our customers, helping them in using Release, but also just a lot of questions related to their infrastructure and AWS/GCP. We have some crazy good Integration Engineers that

Tommy, CEO here. We believe it is incredibly complimentary to our core service. What we've found in building Release through our support channels is we spend a tremendous amount of time consulting with the DevOps teams of our customers

Internally developed, although we just started using an ATS and they had some of this included. Filled out post interview and then we have a person dedicated to running the follow-up meeting. Amazon style bar raiser.
