Seven Deadly Sins of Software Deployment
summary
A fast list of seven concrete deployment anti-patterns and what breaks: no deployment scripts and hand-run steps, cheap staging servers that don’t match production, piling on changes (example shouted: 16 DB migrations at once), installing absurd platforms (joke about .NET on a 386), shipping untested alpha releases, isolating teams and avoiding chat, and refusing to roll back. Each sin links to the exact failure mode and the practical corrective: automate, mirror prod, test, and rollback.
