Rollback Procedures

Rollback Triggers

Automatic Rollback (if observed):

• Service health: Any service down >5 minutes
• Error rate: >5% for >10 minutes
• Latency: P99 >1 second for >5 minutes
• Database: Connection pool exhausted

Manual Rollback (judgment call):

• Security incident detected
• Data corruption suspected
• Performance degradation >50%
• Compliance violation detected

Rollback Steps

Level 1: Service Restart (5 minutes)

# 1. Restart affected service
docker-compose restart <service_name>

# 2. Verify health
docker-compose ps
curl http://localhost:<health_port>/health

# 3. Monitor for 5 minutes
watch -n 10 'docker-compose ps'

Level 2: Configuration Rollback (10 minutes)

# 1. Restore previous .env
cp .env.backup .env

# 2. Restart all services
docker-compose restart

# 3. Verify health
./scripts/health-check.sh

Level 3: Full Rollback (30 minutes)

# 1. Stop all services
docker-compose down

# 2. Restore database from backup
pg_restore -d foxhunt /backups/foxhunt_backup_<timestamp>.dump

# 3. Checkout previous git commit
git checkout <previous_commit_sha>

# 4. Rebuild and restart
docker-compose up -d --build

# 5. Verify health
./scripts/health-check.sh

# 6. Run smoke tests
./scripts/run_smoke_tests.sh

Level 4: Disaster Recovery (4-8 hours)

• Restore from off-site backup
• Recreate infrastructure from scratch
• Follow disaster recovery runbook
• Contact on-call engineer

Rollback Testing

Quarterly Drills:

• Practice Level 3 rollback (full rollback)
• Measure rollback time (target: <30 minutes)
• Document lessons learned
• Update runbooks as needed
