Thrilled to say Cased is open for business. We’ve been working hard to build a modern devops & deployments platform, and it’s now live to all. While experimenting with all sorts of AI-focused production tooling, we ended up building the kind of platform we’d always hoped for. Cased is developer-friendly devops for fast-moving teams. Branch deploys, anomaly intelligence, with AI integrated from the start—so *anyone* can use the same kind of powerful workflows we used to build and ship GitHub. Plus we want to finally put to bed the idea that devops tools can’t just look great. Sign-up, book a demo, check out docs at cased.com. Here’s a short video about it all:
