What Is a Rollback?

A rollback is the act of reverting a release or change after it causes a problem in production. It is one of the fastest ways to reduce user impact when a deployment introduces instability.

Why Rollbacks Matter

Rollbacks matter because they:

  • reduce incident duration,
  • protect customer-facing systems,
  • support safer release practices,
  • influence Time To Restore Service.
