Organizing a software release is a cross-team effort and a large undertaking. Leveraging the power of Mattermost Playbooks can help your team stay on deadline and keep confusion at bay. In this post, we’ll learn how to quickly integrate Mattermost into your GitLab release pipeline to help streamline your release processes. At the end of the blog post, there’s a link to a release management demo that you can try out in the browser to see these ideas in action.
