Hello!
We now have a weekly deployment window for WDQS each week on Monday
[1]. This is great. I'd like to see how we can improve this a bit
more.
I have been struggling to know if there is something planned for those
deployment windows, and what that content is. I can obviously blindly
deploy the latest commit each week and trust that everything is just
fine. That might actually be a good idea, but if that's the case, I
should work on completely automating it and remove myself from the
picture.
Other deployment window require the change initiator (the developer in
most cases) to add a description of the changes to be deployed to the
deployment page [1]. I was actually expecting that and did not clarify
this point with Stas (my bad, I should not assume things).
@Stas (or others): would you be OK following this same process? Or
should we push automation a bit more and take myself out of the
picture?
Thanks for your idea!
MrG
