How to Prevent a Database Rollback From Removing Valid Customer Data

Rolling back code or schema can discard writes made after deployment or conflict with data transformations.

Checks to make

Define rollback boundaries for code and data separately, take a verified backup, and test recovery on representative data. Prefer forward-compatible migrations and record how new writes will be reconciled before restoring older structures.
