Sure, but you wouldnt push to prod on a friday

I do all the time, what’s your point ?
You dont push on fridays or before holidays. Good luck breaking prod and having you or your coworkers do extra hours on a holiday.

edit: the point is you choose when to deploy, eg shoot.

And your customers like it much less if prod breaks during their business hours.
Insurance and banks services are used out of business hours by everyone. You better have people working after pushing to production a friday at 5pm.

If it breaks on my work hours, np, i will revert the deployment. Good luck getting me to revert anything on a weekend.

Yeah different industries need different approaches. For services which serve North America, you’d preferably have a capable team in Australia, or similar, so you can push changes during their biz hours but our off hours.
