🚨 ECS Circuit Breaker Was Enabled — But Rollback Didn’t Happen. It was just another morning until our ECS tasks entered a silent failure loop. - Health checks were failing. - New tasks kept launching. - And yet — no rollback. This wasn’t a production outage. But it could’ve been.
What followed was a deep dive into how ECS Fargate actually handles rollbacks — and what most teams (including us!) misunderstand about deployment safety nets.

🚨 ECS Circuit Breaker Was Enabled — But Rollback Didn’t Happen.
It was just another morning until our ECS tasks entered a silent failure loop.
- Health checks were failing.

- And yet — no rollback.
This wasn’t a production outage.
But it could’ve been.
What followed was a deep dive into how ECS Fargate actually handles rollbacks — and what most teams (including us!) misunderstand about deployment safety nets.
