A green deploy check doesn't confirm a change is live for users

A deploy pipeline can report success at 2:14 p.m. while many pods still run the previous version and one region finishes syncing later. Teams often read flat dashboards and a green check as proof a change works, but those signals describe the deploy rather than the change itself. The article separates four stages a change passes through: CI completion, code deployment, code running everywhere, and feature release to users. The gap between deploying and running everywhere is common in Kubernetes rollouts, CDN caching, and multi-region deploys. Verification should instead confirm that the specific change has actually handled real production requests.
