+# Release Process
+
+1. Test the main branch using the [edgeandnode/local-network-environments](https://github.com/edgeandnode/local-network-environments) (`theodus/bash-time` branch)
+    - Make sure that the gateway returns a correct response to a valid query
+    - Run any other ad-hoc tests that are appropriate for the set of changes made since the last release
+2. Open a PR for the new release on [edgeandnode/local-network-environments](https://github.com/edgeandnode/local-network-environments)
+    - Version the release based on [SemVer](https://semver.org/)
+      - Note that the data science team relies on the logging format, so any changes to existing log events, spans, or fields require a major version bump
+    - Set the new version in `Cargo.toml`
+    - Include release notes for changes since the last release
+    - Rebase & Merge the PR
+    - Create a new release via GitHub
+      - Include the release notes from the PR
+      - Tag the commit with the version string, prefixed with a `v`
+3. Open a PR on [edgeandnode/graph-network-infra](https://github.com/edgeandnode/graph-network-infra)
+    - Update the staging (and testnet?) gateways to the new version
+    - Update environment variables and Prometheus filters as necessary
+4. TODO: test against staging/testnet gateways...
+5. Open a PR on [edgeandnode/graph-network-infra](https://github.com/edgeandnode/graph-network-infra)
+    - Update the mainnet gateway configs, making the same configuration changes as in step 3
