Quality assurance is a craft in it self which takes experts years to master. As a devops your expertise lies elsewhere. When a bug of yours makes it to production that is a failure of the QA process but not yours personally. If you are expected to do your own QA then just know that QA is not your expertise and you are bound to make mistakes.

If this keeps happening perhaps you can try to persuade your bosses to hire a qualified QA expert. If they don’t want to then perhaps quality is not as much of a priority for upper management as it is for you, and you can free your self of the blame. Sacrificing quality is sometimes a reasonable choice for a company with limited resources, and the bugs that you put to production might be a result of that choice by the upper management.
