Roll-forward
Section titled “Roll-forward”Roll-forward repairs a faulty production state by deploying a new corrective change rather than restoring the previous release.
It is often required when a migration, contract change, or external side effect makes the old version incompatible with current state.
Roll-forward depends on a build and validation path that remains usable during an incident.
