Survive Updates

The platform changes. Backup. Sandbox. Verify. Rollback. Updates become maintenance.

The Problem

The platform pushes an update. Hours of downtime. Files you customized for months get overwritten. Configurations that worked stop working. Every hour spent recovering is an hour of productivity gone. Some people lose a day. Some lose three. Some never get their old setup back.

The Solution

This course covers the in-house architecture for update survival — what to snapshot, how to sandbox, and what to reach for when things break anyway.

You will: run your first pre-update backup, sandbox test, and verification checklist.

To survive AI platform updates: (1) never upgrade on release day — wait 72 hours minimum, (2) sandbox the new version on a separate instance before touching your production config, (3) back up your config files before any change, (4) verify every plugin and provider route still works, and (5) have a one-command rollback to the last known-good state. Assume every release is flawed. Verify before you trust.
