Discussion on: Why you should deploy on Friday afternoon

Not sure that holds to my experience. We deploy dozens of services multiple times a day; many by CD. We also deploy on Fridays but try to avoid afternoon deploys.

There are less eyes on things at the weekends so subtle problems get missed and you sometimes get rushed work as folks try to squeeze that last thing out to production before the weekend.

We have excellent monitoring and logging; we aren't afraid of breaking things but the human cost of having to debug something at beer o'clock on a Friday is something we don't advocate.
