Release Process

We use semantic versioning for releases, where release versions follow the Major.Minor.Patch numbering pattern across all components, and we utilize and maintain Integration, Stage, and Production environments.


Checklist​

Our release process includes a checklist of the features planned for release to ensure their completion or to ensure a completion plan is in place.

When all pre-deployment checklist items are complete, stakeholders review the checklist to make an informed decision about the state of the release and do the following:


  • Identify any steps that have not been completed.

  • Request additional information.

  • Follow up as needed.

Signoff​

A new version deployment will not proceed until all stakeholders have signed off.


Backup​

We back up the current release before starting a new one. Should a rollback be required and patching is not an option, a rollback request is submitted to the Spectro Cloud DevOps team. The DevOps team will restore from the backup and revert the production SaaS instance to the prior version.
