Good to get some insights in this; in our case, we always deploy our develop branch to UAT. Because our releasable code is all the business cares about. We have another SIT environment that we sometimes use for feature branches. My annoyanc

I'm not sure if I agree with that, unit tests would help document what code does. But it doesn't help when you're reading through code. It's also important to understand how your code does what your unit tests document.

I can second this. There’s of course some trade offs you have to make, but overall I feel much happier and relatively stress free. It can be very frustrating too, I can’t even keep count of how many times our product launch has been delayed

Thanks for the explanation. I was thinking about how I would do it, but always ended up reverting to Netlify. Good to have some different approaches.

That’s exactly what happened. I’m sure the vendor code is riddled with spaghetti code, poorly optimized and undocumented. But as long as they deliver, the business doesn’t have to care about it. They can also just say what they want, and it
