Rollback Procedure
description
Emergency workflow activated when a deployment introduces regressions severe enough
to require reverting to the previous stable version. The on-call SRE or engineer
identifies the bad deployment via dashboards or alerts, confirms the rollback decision
with the incident commander, and executes the rollback through the deployment pipeline
or manually via CLI tooling. Database migrations may require special handling to ensure
backward compatibility. After rollback, services are verified healthy, affected users
are notified, and the deployment is flagged for post-mortem investigation. Speed and
decisiveness are the primary objectives.
