Automate deployments and provide a fast rollback

Automate deployments and provide a fast rollback | BeforeMerge Rules | BeforeMerge

Why this matters

Manual deploy steps are inconsistent and hard to recover from under pressure. Automating the deploy and keeping the previous artifact one command away turns incident recovery from minutes-of-panic into a fast, repeatable action.

Bad

# ssh in, scp files, restart by hand; rollback = redo it all from memory

Good

deploy app:$SHA prod            # automated, versioned
rollback() { deploy app:$PREV_SHA prod; }  # one step back to known-good
