Pushing OTA updates to 100% of users at once risks immediate, large-scale incidents. Controlled rollouts mitigate this by deploying to a small percentage first (5–10%), monitoring crash rates, install rates, and error logs, then expanding incrementally to 25%, 50%, and finally 100%. The process relies on structured deployment channels (staging, beta, production), pre-tested rollback procedures, and team processes like deployment checklists and defined escalation thresholds. Codemagic CodePush is presented as a tool that provides these capabilities via a web dashboard.
