SERVERLAUNCH
A rollback plan begins before the release starts.
When production changes are traceable, teams can respond to a bad release with evidence rather than trying to reconstruct what happened.
Record the release
Capture the exact source commit, environment and release result every time an application is deployed.
Verify immediately
Use a health endpoint and deployment logs to find issues soon after the release, while the change is still clear.
Return deliberately
Keep the previous healthy artifact and release context available so recovery does not depend on terminal history.
