Provides rollback strategies by platform and decision criteria for when to rollback versus fix forward

Teaches zero-downtime deployment patterns (rolling, blue-green, canary) and emergency response procedures for service outages

Emphasizes principles and reasoning over scripts, encouraging adaptation to your specific platform and risk profile
