+# Release process
+
+## Before doing a release
+
+* Make sure that all the issues in the milestones are resolved
+* Make sure CI is passing
+
+## Drafting a new release
+
+The release process was automated to release builds based on the Git tag when a new draft release is created.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Visit https://github.com/louketo/louketo-proxy/releases/new
+2. Choose a new tag version based on [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](https://semver.org/) and pick the target branch.
+3. Choose the release title and add a proper description
+4. Publish the release
+
+The release process should be triggered by GitHub actions and once it's finished, all the binaries should be available in the release page. See the video below:
