Why so keen to deploy on Friday? That seems like a red flag
Unless it is an urgent bug fix, there is no reason to push it
Once we deployed on a Friday, but a partner's API also deployed, errors start happening at 2am, the API team only has generic support on call, so our devs keep investigating, logs and changes. In the end everything was OK on our side, it was the integration API that broke, by coincidence, and they were insisting it was us.
So you cannot always control, or know, when your partners deploy. But if you avoid Friday your team can sleep assure it is not their fault
There might be an unconscious bias to deploy on Friday because people want to feel they were productive that week, or manager's pressure to fulfill imaginary targets. So people might rush it just a little bit
