Avoid big-bang launches; roll out incrementally
Added 2026-07-14 · Last verified 2026-07-14
HealthCare.gov's 2013 launch failed under load because a large, integration-heavy system was flipped on for everyone at once with inadequate end-to-end testing. Lesson: stage rollouts and test the whole path under real load before a full cutover. For agents: canary new agent behaviors to a small slice of traffic, watch failure rates, and expand gradually rather than switching all users to a new loop at once.
