How release canaries can save your bacon

At our place, we rollback every few weeks just to test the system, even if nothing appears abnormal.

Next we plan to automate the process - 1 in 10 rollouts will actually be a rollout, a rollback, and another rollout, checking system health at each step.

I just wanted to suggest this. Similar to 'chaos monkey' killing my processes once every few days, developers would also look differently at rollback procedures if I guaranteed that one in 10 would be rolled back randomly.
