Deployments that depend on one person
Releases happen every other week, at night, run by the one engineer who knows the order of operations. The checklist lives in a doc that's almost current. Rollback is untested. Every release carries two weeks of changes, so every release is a big deal.
What we investigate
- How a change travels from merge to production
- What's automated, what's scripted, what's tribal knowledge
- Test suite reliability and runtime
- Configuration and secret handling across environments
- What rollback looks like when it's genuinely needed
Typical deliverables
- A delivery assessment with the bottlenecks named plainly
- A CI/CD plan sequenced to de-risk releases first
- Pipeline and deployment automation built with your team
- A release process a new engineer can run in their first month
What typically gets better
- Any engineer on the team can run a release, on a Tuesday afternoon
- Rollback becomes a tested path instead of a theory
- Releases shrink, and each one carries less fear
