In a situation where a bug is found before a release but delaying the release is not possible, it is important to minimize negative impact on users and the team:
- Assess the severity of the bug and its impact on key functionality.
- If the bug is not critical, a release can be made with a known limitation, but the issue must be documented and support team informed.
- If the bug is critical but fixing it requires time, temporarily disable the problematic feature or add a feature flag to deactivate it for users.
- Simultaneously start working on a fix to release a patch as soon as possible.
- Ensure communication with stakeholders: managers, clients, support.
The main goal is not to hide the problem but to manage risks and expectations, ensuring transparency and quick response.
