@sentry_co That's absolutely true, ensuring thorough testing is a fundamental step. 👍 Yet, there are other factors to consider too. For instance, deploying at the beginning of the week can be beneficial for a fresh start and better availability in case any unexpected issues arise. Do you have any other best practices you find helpful in the deployment process?

@nerijuso When I worked at Tidal we would never ship on Fridays, because if there was an issue with the push, then we would have to A work through the weekend. or B wait 3 days until Monday. and leave users behind, 😤 and frustrated that they cant play their favourite tunes.

The best time to deploy changes to production depends on various factors, including your audience's time zone, traffic patterns, and maintenance windows. Typically, off-peak hours, like late at night or weekends, are preferred to minimize disruption. However, it's crucial to consider your specific context and team's availability to ensure a smooth deployment process.
