Yes, at a trading company, where important central systems had a multiweek testing process (unless the change was marked as urgent, in which case it was faster) with a dedicated team and a full replica environment which would replay historical functions 1:1 (or in some cases live), and every change needed to have an automated rollback process. Unsurprising since it directly affects the bottom line.


Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

How did you accomplish that?


We had a state management and deployment system through which all changes were effected that would automatically rollback changes if the smoke test failed, or if one of the ops staff found an issue.
