Deploy on a friday is still a no go for us.
- linkdd 5y agoWhen you work on weekends too, a friday is just like any other days.
- imdsm 5y agoOr when you have a robust CI process in place
- enw 5y agoFor any somewhat complex architecture, even with great tests and canaries there will be unexpected issues.
- lostcolony 5y agoI've yet to see the place that had the level of testing, and infallability of the CI process, to where I wanted to deploy on a Friday. Yeah, it may be a low chance that anything will go wrong, and an equally low chance we'll be unable to easily rollback, but so few things can't wait until Monday that I want to roll those dice.
- linkdd 5y agoI have 100% code coverage in my unit tests + behavioral tests (with cucumber). And yet, problems still happen. Programming is the art of adding bugs to an empty text file.
- wdfx 5y agoEven an empty file can contain a bug, by virtue of being empty.

- giantg2 5y agoIt's often required that we go on a Friday or Saturday to minimize potential impact if there's an issue
