Create Rollback Plan

Overview

Create a comprehensive rollback plan for a deployment that covers trigger criteria, step-by-step procedures, data considerations, feature flag rollback, cache invalidation, communication protocols, and verification steps. A rollback plan must be written and tested before the deployment, not improvised during an incident.

Workflow

1. Read project context — Check .chalk/docs/engineering/ for:
   • Architecture and deployment topology docs (monolith vs. microservices, deploy targets, CDN setup)
   • Database migration patterns and tools
   • Feature flag infrastructure and current flag states
   • Previous rollback plans (to inherit project-specific procedures)
   • Release checklists for the current version
   • CI/CD pipeline configuration
