Well, I guess the point here is to rollback to the previous version and find and fix the bug on Monday.


Sometimes, yes. But the bug might not immediately be obvious (for example a memory leak) or cause data corruption, in which case you need to get a backup - and you probably don't use a backup without manual approval.

A good infrastructure will help you at every point, but it will still take time.


I'm curious how many companies have a working rollback. I think the majority probably have to keep patching until they get it right or get it stable.


maybe because by definition you lose data on rollbacks? You can re-run all events/messages (if your company architecture supports it) but that gets more complicated, usually patching is easier and faster. Also, downtime.


I started and finished a prove of concept a couple of years ago and want to restart now with the goal of getting it to a MVP.
