What change-freeze windows should we avoid when enabling new VS Code features this month?

For a Data Cloud rollout, a robust rollback and communications plan must address the complexity of data and integration issues, not just system outages. Since Data Cloud centralizes data from many sources, a performance problem can have cascading effects throughout the business.

• Rollback plan: Technical execution

A clear, well-rehearsed rollback plan is critical for ensuring you can restore system stability with minimal data loss. 

• Communications (Comms) plan: Stakeholder management 

Proactive and transparent communication is paramount during a performance regression to maintain stakeholder trust and manage business impact.

The core strategy involves three steps:

• Run a log collector agent alongside your Sourcegraph instance.
• Configure the agent with least-privilege credentials to send only the necessary data to your SIEM.
• Harden the agent and the surrounding environment to minimize the security risk.

An effective rollback plan for the Cursor rollout addresses both the technical process and the communication strategy in the event of performance regressions. The plan should be prepared before deployment and tested regularly to ensure a rapid and smooth reversion to a stable system.

To train support teams for JetBrains-related tickets, first identify expected issues by reviewing the specific JetBrains product or plugin and understanding its new features and potential pain points. Then, develop tailored training materials, including troubleshooting guides and best practices for using the new tool, and establish a robust support workflow using JetBrains YouTrack or a similar helpdesk to categorize and route tickets efficiently. Integrate knowledge base content and provide hands-on training with the tool to empower agents to resolve common issues.

To prove an IntelliJ IDEA update improved team productivity without increasing risk, you need to track a balanced set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) before and after the rollout. The most reliable KPIs are the DORA metrics, which measure both software delivery speed and system stability, and other metrics that focus on workflow efficiency and developer satisfaction.
