Overview

Job needs to be done

Ensure that every change to protected branches (like main) always follows the organizational rules.

But, teams make changes the can either improve or break the product to such branches hundreds of times a week.

Regardless of errors, teams need clarity on:

  • Who made changes
  • What DevOps processes were followed
  • What the downstream impact was to the product and customers.

Fact

Software release protection rules ignore realities of daily development—ends up slowing dev teams down.

Problem

Teams can track bugs and fix errors—but they can’t trace the broken process that caused them. There’s no reliable way to see who violated what rule, when, or why. No tool provides that context today, including:

  • Which rule was broken
  • Who bypassed it, and when
  • Why it happened, and what it impacted

How do others solve it?

Even with great tools like GitHub, most organizations are stuck with:

  • Repo-level and binary protection rules—siloed to True/False options and unscalable across teams, services, and environments
  • No centralized audit trail—making it impossible to track violations over time
  • Manual reviews and brittle scripts—costly, error-prone, and reactive

Every time a deployment to main or release skips reviews or CI checks, it’s a gamble. What slips through isn’t just a bug—it’s a breakdown in process that risks outages, security breaches, and failed audits.
