Because our environment is non-trivial. It has nothing to do with confidence in application code, and everything to do with service-level agreements, impact to existing customers, and our own psyche. Ask SalesForce if they do their maintenance updates on weekends because of a lack of confidence in their codebase.
We're not doing 2am deployments, but we're certainly doing them "off-hours".
- lusis 15y agoTriviality has nothing to do with it. Nothing in your SLA says you have to have servers 1, 2 and 3 available. It says you have to have service X available. You can do that with out taking a downtime hit.
- jroseattle 15y agoWow, thanks for having better insight into our production environment than myself.
- lusis 15y agoFeel free to correct me then. I have YET to work anywhere in any industry (financial primarily) that stated we had to have specific hardware up and running as part of an SLA. It's an "SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT" not a "SERVER LEVEL AGREEMENT".
- jroseattle 15y ago> I have YET to work anywhere in any industry Sounds like your experience is the only one that matters, then.
