Without it, teams struggle to answer basic questions after incidents: what changed, who changed it, and can we roll back? The guide covers naming conventions (feature.task.version or semantic versioning), storage options, environment separation (draft/staging/canary/production), diff tracking, attaching eval suites to each version, logging prompt versions on every production request, using aliases for fast rollbacks, and building a release checklist. A practical 10-step workflow ties it all together, from creating a draft to monitoring post-release and feeding production failures back into regression test sets. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
