# OTA Rollout Management

Ship fixes and changes between store releases with staged OTA rollouts, health checks, and instant rollback.

_[Expert Engineering](/ai-native-engineering) › [Enterprise Infrastructure](/capabilities/self-hosted-ci-cd-infrastructure)_

**Fix production today, not next review cycle**

Store review adds days exactly when production is broken. We set up over-the-air updates with staged rollouts, health monitoring, and rollback, so JavaScript-level fixes reach users in hours - safely and within platform rules.

## Enterprise Infrastructure

- ISO 27001 certified
- 100+ Enterprise projects delivered
- React Foundation Founding Member · 300+ commits to React Native · Contributing since 2016
- Industry runs on our tooling · 50M+ OSS downloads / month
- 10 min From code change to mini-app release
- 60 → 10min Faster builds after replacing Jenkins with EAS

## What you get: OTA with discipline.

- **OTA infrastructure** expo-updates or a self-hosted update service, configured for your app and release model.
- **Staged rollouts** Percentage-based delivery with health gates between stages.
- **Instant rollback** Bad updates reverted in minutes, before they trend.
- **Channel strategy** Staging, beta, and production channels mapped to your branching model.
- **Compliance by design** Update scope kept within Apple and Google OTA policies.
- **Release health signals** Crash and adoption metrics per update, wired into rollout decisions.

## How we work together: Improve the system without disrupting delivery.

### Extend your team (1 week)
Our senior engineers join your team to ship features, guide technical decisions, and strengthen delivery.
- Your roadmap and workflow
- Expertise shared as we work
- Flexible timezone coverage
### Deliver a project (1-12 months)
We take agreed work from technical planning to release, with clear responsibilities and progress you can see.
- 3 Callstack engineers ship like 6
- Impact visible before sprint two
- End-to-end delivery
### Solve specific challenge (as needed)
We address a performance, migration, or infrastructure challenge, or run training around your team’s needs.
- Focused reviews or implementation
- Knowledge your team keeps
- Outcomes guaranteed with contract

## Let’s find the right path for your product.

**What can legally ship over the air?**

JavaScript and assets - the interpreted layer. Native changes still go through the stores, and we design the update flow to respect that line.
**Self-hosted updates or EAS Update?**

Both work. EAS Update is the fast default; self-hosted fits data-residency and cost constraints at scale. We run the comparison on your numbers.
**How fast is a rollback?**

Minutes. The previous bundle is re-promoted, and affected users recover on next app start - no store resubmission involved.
**How do staged rollouts decide to proceed?**

Health gates: crash rate, key-flow success, and adoption thresholds per stage. Advancing is a decision backed by data, automated where you want it.
**We still use CodePush - what now?**

CodePush is retired, and migration is routine for us: channels, tooling, and CI integration move over without disrupting your release schedule.
**Does OTA risk store rejection?**

Not when scoped correctly. Both platforms permit JS-level updates; the guardrails we set keep every update inside that boundary.
