Kestrino

Developer tools for teams that ship APIs, with docs, SDKs and a public changelog.

Release notes went out late because nobody owned the page. Now they land in the changelog while the deploy is still rolling out.

Head of Developer Relations, Kestrino

Challenge: Kestrino's changelog lived in a repository only engineers could edit, so release notes trailed releases by days.
Solution: Releases now live in the Studio. The team writes notes alongside each deploy and the changelog updates itself.

Notes that ship with the code

Each release gets a version, an area and its notes in the Studio, and the Changelog block lists it the moment it is published.

Steps, code tabs and integrations blocks let the product team explain new features without waiting on the website.
