  what kind of human error
  • eeZah7Ux 6y ago
    Any error in any command or configuration file that should never be run on production.

      Keep a menacing hammer in the corner of the room. Walk in once a week and fondle it with a viscous grin just waiting and daring someone to make you use it.

  Play your stuff on a staging server first, and if possible on a container or vm in the test pipeline of your infra code. And well, start with a backup and be careful when you're working in production but that's common sense right ?

    Staging works well in my experience. How can you benefit from a test pipeline and a staging system with tools that bypass it and ssh right into the production systems?
