Smoke tests or gradual rollout won’t help with the change by fastly on May 12 when they deployed the buggy change. It’s likely that this was gradually rolled out and looked ok with all customer configs existing on May 12. Obviously there should be other safeguards in place but gradual rollout in itself wouldn’t have helped since it would look green at a 100% rollout weeks ago.
- EE84M3i 5y agoI meant smoke testing and gradual rollout of the config, not the code, although obviously that's important too.
- alkonaut 5y agoYou’d think that individual customer configuration changes should only ever affect that customer, and that gradual vs instant rollout would be an option the customer handles when changing their configuration!
