Blast Radius
Blast radius is how much of a business or client base would be affected if a specific change or failure went wrong.
Example
Rolling a pricing change out to five pilot clients first has a much smaller blast radius than applying it to the entire client base at once.
Why it matters
Deliberately limiting blast radius on a risky change means a mistake affects a small, recoverable group instead of everyone at once.
Limits and cautions
Minimizing blast radius always adds some overhead, like a staged rollout instead of a single release, which needs to be weighed against the urgency of the change.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's phased rollout capability can limit a change's blast radius by reaching part of a workspace before the rest.
