Exactly, and that’s something my company is aggressively moving toward, even though our userbase is nothing like Google’s. It’s just good engineering to be able to rapidly undo an unfavorable rollout.

Google’s operations are absolutely built around the idea of easy rollback. Their products, and the their entire product ecosystem, are not.

Yeah, they seem to do “easy roll-foward.” Any service is subject to replacement, given a sufficiently motivated project manager. So if there’s a problem in deployment, they just replace the whole thing.
