Introducing lane changes: deploy without the handbrake

Deploys used to mean a pause. From today they do not.

Until now, shipping a change meant holding every other change behind it. Lane changes let two deploys move at once, with a rollback that only touches the lane that went wrong.

What actually changed

Every deploy now gets its own lane and its own rollback point. If one fails, the other keeps moving. Nothing behind it is held.

  • Two concurrent deploys per environment
  • Per-lane rollback, not per-environment
  • A held lane no longer blocks the queue

It is on for every workspace today. There is nothing to enable.
