Our manifesto

Every development team operates under a set of principles - we call them best practices.

These guide us on how to write code, manage repositories, or track development progress whenever a colleague builds a new feature or fixes a bug. Few people feel that best practices are there to slow us down or limit us, but are there to make us better as individuals, teams and products.

Best practices aren't just about writing code—they're about how we change, build, test or deploy it. Without them, there is chaos and team fragmentation. With great power, comes great responsibility. Unknown push reasoning, mismatched branches, and untracked changes create disjointed releases.

For decades, we’ve established processes and guidelines to help developers manage daily tasks, development lifecycles, and collaboration to ship faster.

Yet, teams still face challenges enforcing these best practices as they grow. Developers resist learning and applying them in their daily tasks, simply because they don’t know that they exist! There isn't a tool to support them in doing so and documentation is unclear. Code gets pushed without adequate review, pipelines fail unexpectedly, and crucial changes go unnoticed. The issue isn’t lack of skill but lack of visibility and structure.

GitOps follow the trunk-based approach to development. The risks of mistakes are concentrated in a single core branch called main. It's essential to ensure that any team affected by a change has the opportunity to review and approve it before it gets merged.

Are we following this today? Most likely not!

What are the best practices?

1. Use Git as the source of truth, not only for code but for deployments.
2. Automate deployments with CI/CD and PR based deployments.
3. Use declarative configuration (describe the desired state, not how to achieve it).
4. Enforce granular permissions and reviews (least privilege principles).
5. Enforce branching and workflow strategies for trunk based development.
6. Monitor with actionable observability for near real time events.
7. Collaborate with accountability of ownership and document processes.

To fix this, we need a framework to govern code changes with a single source of truth space in your daily routine — one space to rule them all! This takes GitOps to the next level, to ensure visibility, consistency and collaboration.

The future of code change management must make Git-practices intuitive and automated, empowering teams to focus on building, not firefighting. Without this, codebases become fragmented, slowing down releases and leading to subpar products.

That’s why we built Warestack, to give teams the tool they need to follow code change best practices as seamless as possible. By integrating with your existing organizations in platforms like GitHub, GitLab, Jira and others we help development teams work in harmony with the best-practices that keep projects on track. Reduce your lead time for changes to production today.

But how does it work?

We enforce guardrails that prevent issues before they arise. Warestack ensures that the code your team pushes is aligned with your unique criteria and best practices. Code changes directly influence workflows, shaping how tasks are executed and coordinated. From guiding PR reviews to flagging ongoing operations with unmet conditions and broken pipelines, Warestack helps development teams minimize errors and maximize releases.

Fewer mistakes. Less downtime. More productivity.

We're not just building another DevTool—we're creating a foundation for smarter development. Our roots are in applied automation and software engineering, and we believe that bringing this level of precision to GitOps is the next logical step in software development.

Your team should work with clarity and purpose, ensuring that every change is intentional, reviewable, and aligned with best practices.
