Rollback Playbook

Turn "we'll just revert" into a tested procedure your team can run under pressure. An untested rollback is hope, not a strategy.

What’s inside

  • Reversibility. Four classes, from trivially reversible to one-way.
  • Triggers and authority. Pre-agreed conditions for rolling back, and who can call it.
  • Rollback steps. Exact commands, each with a verification.
  • State recovery and executors. What comes back on its own, what needs cleanup, and who has access.

How to use it

  1. Copy it per change type or service.
  2. Decide rollback triggers before the release, not during it.
  3. Write copy-pasteable commands.
  4. Test it in staging and record the date.
