Deployments:

  • Fortnightly (planned releases, ~ Thursday every 2 weeks).
  • Hotfix (Sev1/Sev2, any day or time).
  • Continuous (small changes without notice, several times a week — UI tweaks, copy, performance).

Breaking-change notification

If a change can break integrations:

  • 90 days notice for deprecation.
  • Email + banner + changelog entry from day 0.
  • Reminders at 60, 30, 14, 7 days before cutoff.
  • Migration documentation published before the notice.

Examples that would get this treatment: webhook schema change, API response field removal, default behavior change on an endpoint.
