Phased Release (Play)

Roll new versions to small % first, monitor crashes, expand or halt.

External action gate

Creating, halting, resuming, or expanding a Play rollout changes production availability. Prepare the schedule, monitoring thresholds, rollback path, and owner of each decision locally. Obtain explicit owner confirmation of the Play account, app, release, track, and percentage before every state-changing action.

Default rollout schedule

• Day 1: 1% of users
• Day 2-3: 5%
• Day 4-7: 20%
• Day 8-14: 50%
• Day 15+: 100%
