Just wondering what times most teams are doing deployment of new code.
Thanks for the information everyone…. Currently we are deploying Prod code after hours and non-prod code anytime it is necessary. I was just trying to see if anyone was doing anything different. Our team is always looking to see if we can do things in a better way
Non-Prod - During business hours day
Prod - Mid-week after hours (Things can and will go wrong)
The Prod releases are generally done in Evening(Non-business hours) , and non-prod changes can be deployed during the day (business hours)
Prod releases are almost exclusively after working hours - big advocate of mid week to account for hiccups. Weekend/Friday deployments are not recommended as a norm
Non prod environment can be done during the day. Have seen a few environments that also require after business hours given the sensitivity for other teams QA systems
Hope this helps
Generally, Code deployments are done in business days for non-production servers.
For production servers, it is mostly non-business hours, so that it won’t impact the business while the services are not available.
Typically, non-production deployments occur during standard business hours, whereas production updates are scheduled for off-peak hours to prevent service interruptions and minimize user impact.
Non-Prod: During business hours.
Prod: Non-Business Hours (Weekend)
@Bradlabs12 Basically you need to find a time slot, where none to minimal user disruption happen when do the deployment. Normally off hours(evening/night hours) are considered for Production deployments, but with organization having teams distributed across globe, it is difficult to get the off hours window. So, you might want to see which time work best for you with minimal service disruption and do the production deployment. (we started doing it in PST afternoon, which was IST midnight for us).
For Non-Prod, you can even go for one deployment, or multiple times a day (completely depends on your team dynamics) as it is only the IIQ admins/developers and your stakeholders of current working project might be using it for demo/UAT or some other purpose.
Non-Prod: During business hours.
