Development should never be broken, ever. Ready to ship and broken are two different things. By ready to ship it more like v2 has 8 total new endpoints and only 2 are ready, then 4, then 6, then 8. When the tests fail, or the code quality goes down, the deployment fails. I would rather have DEV broken than PROD. Not sure how going directly to PROD would make anything better in this scenario. That is what Integration is for never broken always ready for promotion to prod. Plus a few broken dependencies means ‘yellow’ === impairment not unusable. If the app is unusable for any one dependency that is another issue. Mocking data when you are ahead of another team is always the reality…

Just want to add that these are all good points and good discussion. Ultimately, I think we agree that DeOps is needed no matter how it’s used. The details of how exactly it’s used per product, per team, per organization is always ‘it depends’. Some of us need to jump through more hoops and there is no way any of our products would be updated in production multiple times per day much less multiple times per month unless it was a hot fix of a critical bug. CI/CD is something to strive for as if you can release to develop multiple times per day it’s only the surrounding process that prevents you from releasing to production multiple times per day.

> Development should never be broken, ever. And devs should just not write bugs in their code, ever. Development mostly works, but is going to be broken in subtle ways that other teams are going to pull their hair out because their thing doesn't work, but their thing doesn't work because your team has broken development in a very subtle way that only that one team tickles. Your tests didn't catch it and the rest of your team didn't catch it during code review.
