Principal developer: that’s why we always hav failover, backups, and a rollback plan, and insist on release testing in a staging environment

This is what happens when the city pays below average wages for developers in a city where developers have nearly unlimited job opportunities available.

Looks like they need to learn a thing or two about redundancy and fail-overs

Yep.
Wheres the non-prod test environment?
Also, this example is why I constantly argue against auto updates for anything, even my phone apps.

But there’s also development work that should have been done on the release process it’s, like support for progressive rollouts and easy rollbacks.

Progressive rollout? Nah, these people are acting like it’s 1992 and just cowboy that shit up!
