The Silent Failure of 'Rollback Everything' Culture

Problem:
Teams treat rollback as the universal fix. It works for simple regressions but not for runtime issues caused by load, dependency behavior, or cascading failures.

Rollback Is Not a Universal Fix

Why It Matters:
Rolling back code does not fix a queue spike, a retry storm, a memory saturation, or an unhealthy dependency. These conditions persist.

Impact:
Rollbacks give false confidence while the real unsafe state continues to grow.

Rolling back code does not fix a queue spike, a retry storm, a memory saturation, or an unhealthy dependency. These conditions persist.

Insight:
Systems need targeted mitigation actions tied to safety conditions—not blanket rollbacks.
