Re: The rollback didn't work Mon, Jul 7 • 9:17am
Jacob: Imagine a hotfix gets rushed and only makes things worse. The team tries a rollback... but it doesn't behave like anyone expected. How do you know your rollback logic is actually safe?
Alex: yeah that definitely happened once. we assumed it was safe to just revert the last commit, but it made the data mismatch worse. didn't catch it til customers complained.
Jacob: That's a super common trap — especially if the rollback path isn't tested the same way as the deploy path. What would break if a background job had already run on the new data?

The rollback didn't work
A late-night hotfix broke a background job, and the rollback failed to restore deleted customer records.
