AWS AppConfig integrates with New Relic for automated rollbacks

AWS AppConfig today launched a new integration that enables automated, intelligent rollbacks during feature flag and dynamic configuration deployments using New Relic Workflow Automation. Building on AWS AppConfig's third-party alert capability, this integration provides teams using New Relic with a solution to automatically detect degraded application health and trigger rollbacks in seconds, eliminating manual intervention.

When you deploy feature flags using AWS AppConfig's gradual deployment strategy, the AWS AppConfig New Relic Extension continuously monitors your application health against configured alert conditions. If issues are detected during a feature flag update and deployment, such as increased error rates or elevated latency, the New Relic Workflow automatically sends a notification to trigger an immediate rollback, reverting the feature flag to its previous state. This closed-loop automation reduces the time between detection and remediation from minutes to seconds, minimizing customer impact during failed deployments.
