Does having an identical staging environment help, or are these deploy errors transient/non-deterministic?

- memset 13y agoThe latter, unfortunately. (I wish I had more details - but for one reason or another, it never seems to work, be it a bug in the deployment system or a host which is down.) Dreams of an identical staging environment were somewhat shattered when the "free tier" plans went away. Plus, sometimes a new version will be deployed to 2 servers, and the 3rd one will be hanging on an update. These kinds of things are difficult to plan for and test, since intentionally messing up a deployment is rather difficult with PaaS.
