Breaking change

Backend

A change that makes existing valid usage stop working.

Removing a field, renaming one, making an optional input required, or changing a type. The problem is that you often cannot fix it by deploying again, because the broken caller is a phone app or a script you do not control.

Build

Infrastructure

Turning source code into something runnable.

Compiling, bundling and optimising your source into deployable output. A failed build is good news, because the pipeline caught a problem before any user did.
