Release Trigger

A Release trigger automatically starts a release build when code is pushed to a matching branch. Release builds produce durable, versioned artifacts.

Release trigger

Build​

  1. Build type — set to Release
  2. Version type — how the version number is determined. Select Version pattern to use wildcards for automatic version calculation.
  3. Version pattern — pattern with wildcards to specify the release version:
    • ? — latest (resolves to the current latest value)
    • + — increment (auto-increments the version part)
    • Example: 1.+.0 will increment the minor version (1.5.0, 1.6.0, etc.)
    • Example: 1.?.+ will increment the patch version for the latest minor version
  4. Branch — the branch that triggers the build (e.g. main). Supports glob patterns (e.g. release/*).
  5. CI Pipeline — the pipeline to execute (e.g. java-maven-app-release)

Application Package​

  1. Create package — when enabled, an application package is created after a successful build
  2. Version pattern — the version pattern for the application package (same wildcard syntax as the build version)

Deployment​

  1. Deployment — optionally deploy after a successful build. Click + Add Deployment to configure a target environment.
