Coordinate backend deployment
Align backend deployment with client releases — timing and communication.
Backend deployment can be decoupled from mobile — blue-green, canary, feature flags. But when a client release depends on an API change, timing coordination is critical.
Deployment order
Backward-compatible API first, clients next — or a feature flag to enable after client deployment. HyperRelease documents the chosen order in the checklist.
Distinct backend status
Backend has its own Draft → Ready → Published status. It is not buried in an ambiguous global release status.
Ops communication
The ops team updates backend status when deployment is confirmed. Everyone sees alignment with iOS, Android, and Web.
In summary
Uncoordinated backend deployment is the number-one cause of broken client releases.
