DownhillReleaseWerte
DownhillReleaseWerte is a category of metrics used in software release management to quantify the downward impact of a release on downstream services and stakeholders. The concept emphasizes how issues, performance regressions, or degraded reliability propagate through dependent components after deployment, with the aim of providing early signals for risk assessment and rollout decisions.
The core elements typically include three metrics: Release Stability Index (RSI), which measures the rate of
Data for these metrics come from telemetry, incident management systems, post-release testing results, change logs, and
Applications include supporting canary or phased rollouts, setting thresholds for automatic rollback, and prioritizing hotfix efforts.
In practice, DownhillReleaseWerte are most relevant in complex systems with many downstream dependencies. Critics caution that
