A short guide to Rollback Plan Generator
Turn scattered facts into a useful handoff.
Build an ordered, checkpointed rollback plan from release, migration, and traffic details. Here is the practical way to prepare the input, read the output, and decide what to check next.
01
When to reach for it
Uses key=value release facts to assemble ordered rollback checkpoints with safe generic defaults for missing facts. It is most useful when you are dealing with failed release or rollback needed. Start with the smallest example that still shows the behavior.
- Look for failed release, rollback needed, migration risk.
- Reduce the example until one observation can change the result.
02
How to prepare the input
Answer with the facts you actually know. A partial diagnosis is more useful than filling every field with a guess.
- Use the accepted format: key=value release facts.
- Keep the facts that make the behavior reproducible.
- Do not treat missing context as a reason to invent an answer.
Example input
Safe sample
artifact=release-42 databaseMigration=no featureFlag=yes traffic=canary verifyRoute=/health
Run this first to see the shape of the result. Then change one meaningful fact and confirm that the output changes with it.
03
How to read the result
Returns an input-derived checkpointed rollback template; it does not execute release commands. Read the finding beside the evidence that produced it. The result narrows the next check; it does not claim to have changed your system.
- Separate the observed fact from the suggested next check.
- Prefer the smallest reversible experiment that can confirm or reject the finding.
- Save the output when it belongs in an incident note, review, or handoff.
04
Know the boundary
The report organizes the facts you provide; it does not execute a rollback, deployment, or incident action.
