A huge portion of pull requests (PRs) already come from coding agents, and the trend is only accelerating. In the first few months of 2026, the number of AI-attributed commits in public GitHub repos surged from just under two million to an estimated 37 million per month. Teams are merging more code now than ever, but traditional staging environments, written tests, and human review were not built to support deployments at this volume or velocity.
Bits Release, now available in Preview, is a release validation and rollout intelligence system that automatically follows every change from PR to production. It generates a validation plan from each PR, runs the plan continuously by using existing Datadog telemetry data and Bits Testing, and surfaces evidence in the places engineers already work: PR comments and Slack. When a release fails in production, Bits Code investigates the regression and opens a PR fix.
In this post, we’ll explore how Bits Release helps teams:
- Track every change from PR to production
- Safely roll out features in production
