About
We build the calm part of shipping software.
Kiln started as an internal tool at a payments company where one bad deploy could cost millions. Today it helps 2,400 teams release without holding their breath.

Our mission
Software should get better every day without anyone losing sleep over it. We think the difference between a team that ships daily and one that ships quarterly isn’t talent — it’s the safety net.
So we build that net: tools that separate deploying code from releasing it, that measure every step, and that undo mistakes in seconds. Boring, dependable infrastructure for the most nerve-wracking moment in software.
How we work
Four things we won’t compromise on.
02
Ship small, ship often
We release Kiln with Kiln — dozens of times a day, in tiny, reversible steps.
03
Write it down
Decisions live in documents, not meetings. Async by default, across nine time zones.
04
Own the outcome
Whoever ships it watches it. On-call is shared by everyone, founders included.
Leadership
The people behind the switch.
Former infrastructure leads from Stripe, Spotify and Shopify — plus a former air-traffic controller who taught us everything about safe handovers.
