Rollbacks & Promotions
Deploying to production is stressful when things go wrong. LaunchVerse provides instant rollbacks and cross-environment promotions to ensure you can recover from bad deploys in seconds.
Instant Rollbacks
If a new deployment introduces a critical bug, you can instantly rollback to the last known good state.
- Navigate to the Deployments tab in your project.
- Find a previous successful deployment.
- Click the vertical ellipsis (...) and select Rollback to this deployment.
Because the LaunchVerse Engine preserves the immutable Docker image of your previous build in the registry, a rollback does not require a re-build. The Engine simply re-routes edge traffic back to the old container image, taking effect globally in milliseconds.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> A rollback reverts your application code and environment variables (which are baked into the runtime), but it does not rollback your database schema. If your bad deployment included destructive database migrations, you will need to use Point-In-Time Database Restores in tandem with an application rollback.
Promoting Previews
When a Pull Request is approved and tested in a Preview Environment, you can promote that exact immutable image directly to Production without rebuilding it.
- Navigate to your Previews tab.
- Select the Preview deployment you wish to promote.
- Click Promote to Production.
This bypasses the Forge build phase entirely, pulling the exact verified image from the preview sandbox and attaching your production custom domains and environment variables to it.
