// release management for engineering teams
Track every release.
Tame every incident.
Traken is the shared release log behind your release management workflow. Log every deploy, search history, and answer "what's in production?" — without waiting on anyone.
// the problem
The ship log is empty. The incident just started.
The manifest is missing.
Production releases happen. Nobody records them. The log lives in Slack threads, commit messages, and one team lead's memory.
Who deployed at 23:00 last Tuesday?
Go ask around. Check Slack. Ping the team lead. Hope they're awake.
The bottleneck is always a person
Logging depends on whoever holds context. When they're off the ship, you're sailing blind.
// why traken
Release management built for the whole team.
Your org probably already runs Jira, Linear, or GitHub. None of them answer "what shipped last Tuesday at 23:00." Traken does.
Dedicated, not bolted on
Other tools track releases as a side feature inside a bigger system. Traken tracks only releases — fast, focused, no setup week.
Your whole crew can use it
Developer, PM, SRE, Scrum Master, exec. Everyone opens the same screen and immediately understands what they're looking at. No training, no manual.
No process required
Nothing to configure, no special access, no approval chain. If you shipped something, you can log it — right now.

Release management FAQ.
What is release management?
Release management is the process of planning, tracking, and recording every software release that ships to production. It gives engineering, product, and SRE teams a single source of truth for what changed, when, and by whom — critical during incidents and audits.
How is release tracking different from release management?
Release tracking is the logging and visibility layer of release management. Management covers the full lifecycle (planning, approvals, rollout); tracking focuses on the historical record — what shipped, where, and when — so any team member can answer "what's in production?" without asking around.
Is Traken free?
Yes. Traken's Free plan includes unlimited releases, all core features, and up to 3 members — no credit card, no time limit. A paid Team plan with integrations, API access, and notifications is coming soon.
How is Traken different from Jira, Linear, or Octopus Deploy?
Jira and Linear track work items; Octopus Deploy runs deployment pipelines. None of them answer "what shipped last Tuesday at 23:00" across your whole org in one screen. Traken is a dedicated, zero-setup release log that any team member can read and write — no pipeline configuration required.
