Releases
Coassemble ships releases in two stages: they land on the Standard Release server first, on release day, then on the Controlled Release server about two weeks later. For any release that affects integrations you get a sequence of email notifications, so there's always a two-week window to validate a release before it reaches the second server.
The two-stage rollout
- Standard Release server (previously "Production"). Updates land here first, on release day. This is the shared environment all customers receive updates on by default.
- Controlled Release server (previously "Enterprise"). The same update lands here about two weeks later, after extra validation, giving you more preparation time.
Because of this cadence, there's always a window where a release is live on one server but not yet on the other.
What Coassemble sends you
For every release that affects integrations, you'll get:
- A preview email, 2 to 4 weeks before release, covering what's coming, opt-in status, and any UI changes.
- A reminder email, 1 to 2 days before the Standard Release.
- A Standard Release confirmation on release day, with documentation links.
- A Controlled Release confirmation about two weeks later, when the Controlled Release server receives the same update.
For releases with no integration impact, you'll get a short FYI so nothing is a surprise.
What to do on release day
- If your integration is on the Standard Release server: watch for the Standard Release confirmation, run your usual smoke tests, and email [email protected] if anything looks off.
- If your integration is on the Controlled Release server: no action is needed when the Standard Release ships. Use the two-week window to prepare, and watch for the Controlled Release confirmation on your server's release date.
- If you have integrations on both servers (for example, dev/test on one and production on the other): use the two-week gap to validate the release on your Standard Release environment before it reaches your Controlled Release environment.
What to check after a release
- Visual changes. Review the embedded experience for any UI changes that could affect your users' workflows.
- Opt-in features. Some features ship disabled by default, so confirm whether anything needs enabling for your integration.
When something breaks
If a release causes issues for your integration, email [email protected]. Put "urgent" in the subject for urgent issues, or use a normal subject otherwise. Coassemble triages quickly and either resolves it or provides a workaround. If you're on the Standard Release server, a rollback or hotfix may also be possible.
