Sure, but having a hands-off pipeline for it which runs automatically is where the value is at.

Means that there's predictability and control in what is being done, and once the pipeline is built it's as easy as a single button press to release.

How many times when doing it manually have you been like "Oh shit, I just FTPd the WRONG STUFF up to production!" - I know I have. Or even worse you do that and don't notice you did it.

Automation takes a lot of the risk out.

Not to mention the benefits of versioning and being able to rollback! There's something so satisfying about a well set-up CI/CD pipeline.

We did versioning back in the day too. $application copied to $application.old

[–] anonymoose@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

But was $application.old_final the one to rollback to, or $application.old-final2?!
