-### Handling Test Failures
+#### Handling Test Failures
 
 Occasionally, tests may fail due to transient issues or flakiness in the test suite. In such cases:
 
 1. Verify the nature of the test failure to ensure it's not related to the dependency update.
 2. If the failure seems unrelated to the update, re-run the GitHub Actions job to confirm if the issue persists.
 3. Document any recurring flakiness or issues on the pull request then create a new issue linked to the pull request for further investigation.

+### Releases
+
+#### drainpipe and drainpipe-dev release process
+
+When making a release, increase the version based on https://semver.org/
+
+> MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
+> MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner
+> PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes
+
+Specifically for drainpipe, when a new "check" is added, that might break builds in projects,
+that would usually be a MINOR release, with a release note about the change.
+
+Before making a new release, post in the lullabot internal #devops slack channel to coordinate with other maintainers.
+
+1. Generate a GitHub release for drainpipe
+  1. Supply the correct tag based on the changes and semantic versioning standards.
+  2. Use the suggested release notes.
+  3. Set this release as latest and publish.
+2. The release when published will automatically kick off a release of [drainpipe-dev](https://github.com/Lullabot/drainpipe) using the [DrainpipeDev GitHub workflow](https://github.com/Lullabot/drainpipe/actions/workflows/DrainpipeDev.ym). However this needs some manual followups:
+  1. This action ends up creating a branch in drainpipe-dev with the same name as the tag you just entered in the release.
+  2. Delete the branch that was created in drainpipe-dev.
+  3. Create a release with the same tag name in drainpipe-dev and in the release notes, just link to the drainpipe release that was made in step 1.
+
+#### NPM package release process
+
+To generate new NPM package releases:
+
+1. Have the latest main branch checked out locally
+2. Run `yarn learna publish`
