Create your own release protection in plain English to flag or block team code changes, so you instantly know if everything’s on track or breaking the rules.
We’re super excited to launch Warestack’s first official, enterprise-ready release today 🚀
Why we built Warestack
Working as a team and want to stay on top of things?
What if someone accidentally merges into a critical branch. How soon would you know?
Who it’s for
Warestack is built for DevOps teams, engineering managers, and fast-moving organizations who need to keep quality under control without slowing down delivery.
What it does
It works alongside your CI/CD pipelines, GitHub protection rules, and deployment checks (not replacing them) and allows you to:
Create rules in plain English.
Trace violations of rules against your daily Ops.
Monitor every code event in a single view.
Get notified instantly about rule violations via Slack and Linear.
Extract reports for any timeframe and event.
Why it’s different
Today there are two ways of protecting your Ops:
Create a contribution list and ask everyone to follow it, but everyone forgets about it.
Use branch protection in GitHub, but these rules are static, made for the codebase not your team daily needs.
Warestack adapts dynamically:
Rules can evolve in context (e.g. PR size limits, required reviewers, deployment safety checks).
You get continuous insights even after merges, not just pre-checks.
Works seamlessly with GitHub, Slack, and Linear to keep everyone aligned.

We built Warestack to give teams back control, visibility, and traceability — without adding friction.
💬 We’d love to know: what’s the first release protection rule you’d write in plain English for your team?
Thanks for checking us out and supporting our launch 🙌
Report
@dkargatzis Congrats on the launch! Warestack sounds like a must-have for DevOps teams bridging the gap between static rules and dynamic team needs is a brilliant approach.
@sohaib_csk thanks a lot! It also helps PMs stay aligned with dev team progress. Additionally, one of our killer features is the automated reports in plain language, making quarterly reviews with CTOs, VPs, and team leads much smoother and more actionable.
Defining release guards in plain English is a game-changer for teams that want to move fast without breaking things. Love that it works without touching code and integrates with the tools we already use.
That’s the goal - give teams the guardrails they need to govern their releases without adding friction. We’re here to keep refining how ops work today!
@ash_grover Thanks Ash! That’s exactly what we’re aiming for, cutting out the back and forth so teams can focus on shipping with confidence. Warestack makes release protection automatic, with rules you can define in plain English. 🚀
@ash_grover thanks! Reducing the back and forth while keeping releases safe is where teams usually feel the biggest impact. That’s the friction we’re focused on removing.
Plain English guardrails that actually stick post-merge. Auto-tracing PRs + Slack zap alerts? Genius. Never sleeping on sketchy deploys again. This is the DevOps glow-up we needed.
@andrew_jameson111 appreciate that! Making guardrails stick post-merge and auto-tracing PRs were key goals for us. Curious to hear how you’re handling deploy safety today - would0 love to compare notes on where you see the biggest gaps.
Cool dev tool for growing teams! Managing large projects with a number of devs can lead to tons of overhead and wasted time. Any tool that helps managers and team members stay on top of all the code being written, committed, merged, etc... is a great addition to the stack.
@anthony_latona Appreciate that 🙌 And indeed, once teams start scaling, keeping track of what’s shipping (and how it’s shipping) becomes a full-time job on its own. With Warestack we are trying to help by cutting down that overhead while keeping the guardrails in place. Thanks for the support! 🚀
@anthony_latona while larger dev teams make full use of the guardrails, we’ve actually seen smaller teams (even <5 devs) get strong value too - especially from the monitoring page for traceability across multiple repos. Add to that one-click Slack and Linear integrations (so everyone has visibility with AI generated context propagated where they already work, with Jira coming next).
AND my favorite feature - reporting in plain language. Users can write a query in English and get back a full report with plain data and concise analysis added on top.
👋 Hey everyone! I'm one of the builders behind Warestack here.
Super proud to finally share what we’ve been building with you all!
We started this because we kept running into the same pain: static branch protections and contribution guides just weren’t enough to keep releases safe, especially in fast-moving teams. With Warestack, we wanted to make it as natural as possible to define “how we ship” in plain English, and then have the system trace and enforce it across the whole release flow.
The best part for me while working on it has been seeing how seamlessly it plays with GitHub + Slack: you don’t need to rewire your workflow, but you instantly get that extra layer of visibility and protection.
For example, you can literally write a rule like:
Block any PR over 500 lines unless the PR description includes the text ‘free pizza for the reviewers’.
🍕👌
Excited to hear what rules you’d set up first for your team! 🚀
As a co-founder, I want to highlight that Tomas @tomups has been a key dev behind Warestack. His work has been critical in bringing this launch to life. Big thanks to him for making this possible!
Love seeing someone finally tackle safe releases with agentic guardrails—rolling out updates has always been nerve-wracking for my team. Is it easy to integrate with existing workflows?
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Thank you Joey! Totally hear you, safe releases can be stressful. Warestack plugs directly into GitHub, so you can keep your existing workflows and add guardrails instantly. No heavy setup, just rules that adapt to your team.
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai that’s exactly why we built it. And yes, integration is straightforward: Warestack plugs into GitHub without touching your codebase, and works alongside existing workflows. The goal is zero disruption, just safer releases.
Report
🔌 Plugged in
This is sharp. 👏
Most dev teams don’t crash because they ship too slow… they crash because nobody’s keeping the guardrails up when they ship fast.
What I like here is you’ve taken something that’s usually buried in “tech talk” and made it simple: plain English rules, instant clarity, less chaos. That’s exactly how good products win attention.
I’m a copywriter, and this is the same hill I fight on every day: if people can’t understand you instantly, they don’t buy, they don’t trust, and they sure don’t stick around.
Warestack nails the clarity side curious to see how you expand on this. 🚀
Most crashes aren’t about speed, they’re about missing guardrails. Our goal is exactly what you said: keep it simple and clear so teams (and stakeholders) actually use it. Excited to show how we’ll expand beyond clarity into reasoning and deeper automation next.

@sohaib_csk exactly, the gap between rigid rules and how teams actually work is where most problems show up. That’s the space we’re focused on fixing.

@anthony_latona as teams scale, keeping visibility without piling on overhead becomes critical.
That’s the space Warestack is focused on: giving managers and devs the guardrails they need while keeping workflows lightweight.
