FeatBit

Instant Feature Rollback

A checkout fails. Bring the working one back.

Support reports a failing payment method in the new checkout. Your team needs time to investigate; customers need a working path. Keep a tested fallback ready to serve through a flag change.

A practical walkthrough with checkout-experience

The story · Recovery while the fix is still being written

A payment method fails. Customers need a working checkout now.

The new checkout has reached a pilot audience when support reports a failing payment method. The team still needs to reproduce the bug and review a fix. The existing implementation is already deployed and tested.

Illustrative scenario · Real product configuration

Inside FeatBit · 3 steps

Restore the working path in three steps.

Prepare OFF in advance, stop exposure when the candidate is implicated, and verify recovery in the application.

  1. 01Step 01 / 03

    Make OFF mean a tested checkout.

    Confirm that checkout-experience returns Existing checkout when OFF. Recovery depends on that implementation remaining deployed and usable.

    Turning the flag off has an explicit application behavior.

  2. 02Step 02 / 03

    Turn the affected release off.

    After correlating the payment failure with New checkout, disable the flag. The demo shows the resulting OFF state; new evaluations return the fallback after the application receives the update.

  3. 03Step 03 / 03

    Record the reason and verify recovery.

    Keep the incident context in change history. Confirm that new checkout attempts use Existing checkout and payment errors recover before reopening a limited pilot.

    The flag change starts recovery; the application signals confirm it.

The next decision

Recovery comes before restarting the release.

A flag cannot undo completed payments or database changes. Verify the affected workflow and any side effects, then restart with a limited audience after the fix is reviewed.

Build your own release in FeatBit

Keep the recovery boundary clear

A flag change affects behavior after the application receives and evaluates the update. It cannot undo completed payments, reverse database migrations, or cancel work already in flight; those need their own recovery plan.

All solutions

Automatic Rollback

Connect health alerts to an OFF trigger or restore a previous rollout through the REST API, FeatBit CLI, or MCP, such as returning from 20% to 10%.

Feature Impact Monitoring

Explore the Release Health design: connect metric sources, define guard conditions, send webhook alerts on threshold breaches, and investigate with release context.

Progressive Rollouts

Start an AI-assisted checkout with a small canary. Review errors and completion before more users receive the candidate.
