From chaos to control: Future-proofing your Android release process
summary
Runway’s 2025 report shows 49% cite manual steps as the top release pain and finds 86% experience incidents every few releases, costing teams about 5 hours per release on busy work. Case studies like Skyscanner report teams that ship twice as fast after centralizing a release dashboard, treating checklists as versioned code, and adding automated rollbacks. Automation reduces grunt work but fails without visibility, ownership, and predictable cadences.
