We spent years fighting our own CI pipelines. Then we stopped.

In 2018, our engineering team was debugging a production incident that took four hours to resolve. The logs were a mess, the dependencies were tangled, and the blame game was already starting.

We realized we weren't building software; we were fighting our own infrastructure. We wanted a tool that treated release engineering as a first-class citizen, not an afterthought. We wanted to know exactly what changed, why it broke, and how to fix it — before anyone had to call PagerDuty at 3 AM.

Launchpad was born from that frustration. It's a platform for engineers who want to ship code, not excuses. It's a system that handles the boring, risky, and complex parts of deployment so you can focus on the product.
