## TL;DR

Insert manual approval steps before production deployments to enforce change management, and configure automatic rollback actions to restore the previous stable version on failure. Use Buddy's environment variables to target dev, staging, and production with a single pipeline definition.

## Fix

1. Insert manual approval steps before production deployments to enforce change management, and configure automatic rollback actions to restore the previous stable version on failure.
