Release & Rollback Workflow

Ship new versions to a slice of traffic first, watch the metrics, and promote — or roll back automatically — before most users ever see a problem.

Discuss Your Release Process
Overview

Release Like It's No Big Deal

Big-bang releases to 100% of users are a gamble. Progressive delivery de-risks every release: the new version goes to a small percentage of traffic, automated checks compare its health and error rate against the current version, and only a healthy canary gets promoted. A failing one is rolled back automatically — usually before anyone notices.

The Workflow

Canary → Promote or Roll Back

1

Canary

Release to a small slice of live traffic.

2

Analyse

Compare error rate, latency and key metrics.

3

Promote

Healthy? Gradually shift all traffic over.

4

Rollback

Unhealthy? Revert instantly to the last good version.

How It Works

Safety Built Into the Release

1

Automated analysis

The pipeline watches real metrics from the canary and decides go/no-go against defined thresholds.

2

Gradual traffic shift

Traffic moves to the new version in steps, so impact is contained at every stage.

3

Instant, automatic rollback

A breach of error or latency thresholds triggers an immediate revert — no human in the critical path.

4

Backward-compatible by design

We pair releases with safe database migration patterns so rollback is always possible.

Outcomes

What You Get

Low-risk Bad releases hit a small slice of users, not everyone.

Fast recovery Rollback triggers automatically, without waiting on a human.

Confident Teams ship without dreading deploy day.
