Unleash allows you to roll back any feature instantly with the click of a button or fully automated via our API. Rolling back features at runtime instead of relying on a code deploy is faster and reduces downtime and poor user experience that happen when features are misbehaving.
Feature flag use cases: Rollbacks
Why Rollbacks Are Important for Modern DevOps
Rollbacks are essential in modern DevOps for quickly reverting to a previous stable state when new changes cause issues. They provide a safety net that ensures system stability and minimizes the impact of problematic deployments on users.

Challenges and best practices for rollbacks
Challenges:
Rollback Quickly: How do you roll back problematic features faster than it takes to deploy patched code?
Automate rollbacks: How do you automatically roll back misbehaving features based on system telemetry?
Kill switches: How do you manage access controls and audit logs related to kill switches to ensure security and compliance?
Best Practices:
Automated rollback mechanisms: Implement automated rollback processes to quickly revert to known good states, reducing manual intervention and response time.
Implement change requests approvals: For sensitive changes, implement change requests so rollbacks and kill switches are approved by the appropriate chain of command in your SRE org.
Audit log everything: Collect and maintain extensive audit logs to ensure you know who changed what and when.

"We flipped the most important flag we could when we went from our in-house system to Unleash. Right away we found that it was scalable, highly performant, resilient out of the box. And Unleash ended up being 1/3 the cost of our homegrown feature flag solution, while also improving the reliability and scalability of our platform."

In 2014 I was working as a software developer at FINN.no, Noway’s largest online marketplace. Getting new features into production was a pain, so, as a developer, I looked around and wondered if I could write some code to make it easier. My initial goal was to protect features under development, allowing our team to […]
