I want to emphasize the importance of having good observability and monitoring for engineer driven deployments. I've seen it happen again and again (and I've made this mistake) that people deployed things without keeping an eye on the dashboards, or even having proper metrics in place to begin with. In our deployment guidelines we've added as step #1, bring up all the dashboards that need monitoring and keeping an eye on, then proceeding with the deployment.
100%. I think observability and monitoring are the hallmark of a great engineer. I know there are different opinions on this but it's one of the reasons I prefer on-demand deployments. My next post is going to be about observability.
