How We Unified Our Release Process for Ecosystem Tools

Kestra has streamlined its release process for ecosystem tools, including client SDKs, a command-line tool, and an infrastructure-as-code provider, by adopting a standardized, tag-based release model. Previously, each component had its own release conventions, leading to inconsistencies and confusion. Now, a release occurs only when a version tag is deliberately pushed, ensuring that each release is a clear, human decision rather than an automatic byproduct of code merges. This approach eliminates the need for commit-message-driven automation, making the release process more predictable and reducing the potential for mistakes. While the underlying publishing mechanics remain specific to each programming language ecosystem, the unified tagging system ensures that all components follow the same procedure, simplifying onboarding and enhancing transparency in versioning. The new model emphasizes explicit intent in releases, making them deliberate and clear, thereby minimizing surprises and confusion.
