Teams ship faster and safer withEarly

by showing engineering and QA leaders which production behaviors a release candidate changes before deployment

Early

Engineering leadership begins with software you can trust

Software is being written faster than ever. AI coding tools increase the volume and pace of change, making it harder for teams to understand the combined impact of a release before production.

Early's product, Regression Guard, applies Regression Intelligence: the practice of understanding how a software release changes production behavior before it ships.

Early's mission is to give engineering and QA leaders behavior-level evidence for release decisions. Regression Guard maps affected business flows, identifies changed behaviors and traces regressions back to their source change.

Built by experienced engineering executives from Yahoo, Couchbase, DayTwo and EY Technology, our team has lived the challenge of maintaining quality as software systems and delivery organizations grow. We built Early to help teams reason about releases in terms of the production behavior customers already rely on.
