I understand where you’re coming from, it’s the production robustness paradigm of someone who has worked with such systems and knows what kind of controls are required to release code. eg live editing like that would almost certainly go against SOC2 controls.
However, I’m also tempted very much by a system that allows for fixing things so quickly, because it provides for a delightful customer experience. Most customers don’t report most issues, only when something is persistently wrong or is something they can’t get around. So being able to quickly fix it this way seems genuinely amazing. If I were to take this idea further… maybe some sort of customer isolated canary deploy/ feature flag might be the way to express this customer experience in todays world.
The problem is always that you might break other things with your fix. Maybe a battery of testing before canary deploys can raise confidence about the validity of the fix.
