This is just the static picture though. What's harder to predict are the consequences of some innocuous looking code change.
- Pfhreak 7y agoSure, but surely teams have monitoring on their usage, right? With automated rollbacks or at least one click manual rollbacks?
- fauigerzigerk 7y agoSure, but rolling back work that was already done is a waste of development resources.
- Pfhreak 7y agoDisagree. It's much more wasteful to have an outage. Roll back asap, fix the issue, roll forward, do post mortem, grow as an organization. Never repeat the same mistake.
- fauigerzigerk 7y agoWe're obviously talking past each other. What I'm saying is that for a hosting architecture to make it difficult to predict the cost of any code change is a downside compared to an architecture that makes such predictions easy and intuitive. Of course you will try to mitigate any downsides and learn what you can from any mistakes. But unpredictability makes learning far more difficult than it should, which inevitably means a waste of development resources.
