  • I do not. I’ve got apps that go unused 5pm-9am or 1am-9am depending on the night, apps that have lower usage 5pm-8am and one app that’s basically unused 8am-5pm. Each one gets redeployed in its down time, with hours extra to rollback any problems.

    Actual downtime is usually around twenty seconds which is fine except for emergency midday builds.

    I’ve been trying to get zero downtime deployments, but it’s hard to justify the extra complexity when we’ve got such open service windows. Also, we’re likely to have more downtime from an ISP service outage than our midday builds.

    Other teams have much shorter service windows but deployments that take the whole window.
