Roll Out and Roll Back Deliberately
Stages that outlast the lag, and a way back decided before you need it.
4c · roll out and roll back
Define rollout limits and rollback options
Start with the example, then try it yourself. The last case is optional practice.
See the situation
Start with the situation below. Next, we will work through an example together before you try the activity.
The case
A change with no way back
Plan exposure and observation around outcome lag. Separate configuration rollback from restoring data or external effects.
- Change
- Alter the reporting population
- Effect
- Silently restates every historical figure computed from it
- Reversing it
- Restates them a second time
- Recovery boundary
- A configuration rollback alone does not restore the prior history
- What replaces it
- A condition that must be true before it goes at all
Your place saves as you go.
