At my workplace we release small fixes on Fridays, but prefer to wait until Monday.
I don't see how we could trust ci/cd to catch all errors. Tests are great at detecting expected errors, but it's not possible for us to get 100% confidence.
We also need some sort of tradeoff. Creating a perfect system with few bugs take a lot of time and resources that a startup does not have. We accept that our releases may include bugs, because we can respond to angry customers quickly.
In our B2B industry, most of our customers sales happen during weekends. A bug has a much higher financial impact.
