The Release wing · 1 agent

Ship it, with a way back.

Release promotes exactly what was verified. The Prod deployment agent moves the same build that passed Verify into production in steps, checks health between every one, and keeps the previous version ready. If a step looks wrong, it stops and steps back before your users notice.

The verified build, its test evidence, health thresholds
Produces
A staged rollout to production, with a way back
Approval
Given at the Verify gate. No second gate: health checks guard every step

The way back is prepared before the way forward, never written during an incident.

How it works

Small steps. Checked every time.

A small share of traffic first, then more, with error rate and latency checked against thresholds before every step.

Each one has a codename, one job and a record of everything it did. These views show a sample project.

PDProd deployment agentAgent #0622

Promotes the build that passed. Nothing else.

It confirms the build in front of it is exactly the one Verify approved, then rolls it out in steps, a small share of traffic first, with error rate and latency checked against thresholds at every step. The previous version stays warm, so stepping back is one action, not an incident.

Health checks · every step

No second gate. Every step earns the next.

The person who signed the Verify gate approved this build for release, so nothing waits between Release and Operate. What guards production is the rollout itself: error rate and latency checked against thresholds before every step, and a step back the moment one fails.

  • The build is exactly the one signed at the Verify gate
  • Error rate under threshold before every step
  • Latency under threshold before every step
  • A failed check steps back to the previous build

What the Release wing never does.

  • Only the verified build is promoted. Nothing is rebuilt on the way to production.
  • A failed health check stops the rollout.
  • Rollback is prepared before the deploy, not during an incident.

When the rollout completes, the requirements it carried are marked delivered, and the goal they serve can be measured in production.
