Scheduled Release

Releases can be configured to run on a pre-defined schedule. You can configure this on the Advanced Settings tab of the Release Settings.

One use-case for this is to set-up nightly trains that automatically trigger latest dev builds and send them to internal teams on a consistent cadence.

Another common use-case is when teams have a scheduled release window, and want to ensure that the release goes out on time every cycle.

Automatic Stop on Failure

Tramline, by default, halts the scheduling of an automatic train if the last release failed, but was not explicitly stopped. This is a safety mechanism to prevent a series of failures.

With the option of Automatic stop on failure under scheduled releases, Tramline will automatically stop a failed release so that a new one can be scheduled and kicked off. This is useful when you're confident that the failures are one-off and/or you don't want to handhold scheduled releases.

Please note that only releases that in failure state will be stopped. If you have a running successful release, Tramline will start an upcoming release instead of stopping the ongoing one.
