I always feel being scared of deploying on a Friday is a massive red flag that deployment proccess, does not have good automatic testing, doesn't use canaries and does not have seemless roll backs.

The Deployment is a tension point of Software Development Life Cycle[1]. The more we deploy less scared we are.

Nowadays we still having the scary of deploying on Fridays. What are we missing to lose this fear? Isn't DevOps mature enough? How big enterprises like Google/Facebook/Amazon.. are handling it?

We deploy on Fridays because our app is used only from Monday-Friday and if anything goes wrong we have the whole weekend to fix it, but we've never actually had to do that.
