Deployment Strategies — Rollback, Risk, and Validation

For deployment strategy patterns (canary, blue-green, rolling, progressive delivery), see cicd-and-deployment skill. This skill focuses on operational concerns: validation, rollback, risk, and post-deployment.

Pre-Deployment Validation

Before any deployment, validate:

• Deployment scripts tested in staging | Database migrations tested with rollback scripts
• Configuration management consistent across environments | Health checks and service discovery configured
• Monitoring and alerting systems prepared | Backup and disaster recovery procedures validated

Rollback Procedures
