Fail Pipelines

Fail tasks run only when the primary stage ends in failure.

Ordering

Unlike final tasks, fail tasks run in the order they were added.

Good use cases

  • send an explicit failure notification
  • gather debugging information
  • alert another system
  • leave breadcrumbs for an operator before cleanup runs
