| Log into the machines to your heart's desire. I never said we never log in. I said we never directly change code on production because it's bat-shit insane. That's why this thread was started. You can trace it back. I never acted superior, but I really don't get the "me and some people I know do this so everyone must be doing it". No they're not. And what I described in all my responses (not just to you) can be scaled down to this: 1) Do you know how to install a Linux machine? 2) Do you know how to install a DB? 3) Do you know how to take backups of your DB? 4) Do you know how to change your DB's config so that it points to other machines? 5) Can you write a shell script no more than couple lines? You answered yes to all of the above? Then congrats you can already do what I'm describing. Yes, you can go crazy later with configuration software(ansible/puppet/etc) and better infrastructure, but the above will suffice as a first step. So all this "haha, this guy is in his own SV bubble, haha"... yeah really not getting it, sorry. |
