Update Rollout Planner

The Update Rollout Planner coordinates framework upgrades, resource patches, and emergency fixes. Build a reliable release checklist that keeps staff aligned and players informed from staging to production.

Release pipeline highlights

  • Environment gating – Track tasks for development, staging, and production independently.
  • Dependency awareness – Flag required database migrations, asset bundles, and configuration toggles.
  • Communication templates – Auto-generate Discord and forum announcements from your plan.
  • Rollback playbooks – Store the exact steps to revert an update if the rollout fails.

Planning a release window

  1. Select the target branch or resource build you want to deploy.
  2. Choose a maintenance window that respects peak player hours.
  3. Assign ownership for QA, deployment, and monitoring steps.
  4. Attach verification scripts that must pass before the go/no-go decision.

  steps:
    - "Restore latest backup via Automated Backup Manager"
    - "Disable new features in config"
    - "Post status update to Discord"

Coordinating teams

  • Live timeline shows when each step starts and finishes with per-role notifications.
  • Status badges make it obvious whether QA, deployment, or monitoring is waiting on action.
  • Post-release survey captures lessons learned and stores them with the plan for the next iteration.

Best practices

  • Link to the Resource Health Monitor dashboard to validate performance after deployment.
  • Trigger an on-demand backup from the Automated Backup Manager before starting.
  • Keep templates updated so critical communications can be issued in seconds.

Ship confidently with structured rollouts, predictable downtime, and clear rollback strategies.
