You are right -- I was referring specifically to SREs in FAANG, which enforce a mandate of maximum 1 deploy to prod per day -- in some case even 1 per week, or less.

To be honest, I think there is a threshold, perhaps expressed in terms of risk of losing money, at which it is more beneficial to delay deploys.

But applying the same deployment rules to a multi-billion-dollar revenue machine and to a smaller project with perhaps a few thousand weekly users is ridiculous.

Thanks for the clarification, I can see how that might be frustrating.
