Definitions

  1. A casual way to say something seems extremely robust, reliable, or hard to break. In engineering slang, it is often used optimistically, sometimes more optimistically than the evidence really supports.

    Example: "The rollback process looked bullet proof in rehearsal, but production taught them that one missing secret rotation path could still derail the plan."
