There's a difference between automation and how often your customers see something going wrong. I'm all for the automation. But lets say the error rate is so low that just 0.1% of automated releases go wrong. Rolling out 50 times a day means you'll expose an error every 20 days. Compare that to a monthly, weekly or even daily cycle and you can see you're exposing yourself and your customers to problems without much corresponding gain.
- Retric 18y agoIf you're doing 10 releases a day and someone notices a bug then: A) You can quickly fix it reducing the number of people that see that bug. B) You can probably release the fix without breaking other things. Is it better for you to release 5 bugs that 5% of your users sees for a few hours or release 1 bug that 100% of your users see for 2 weeks?
