Correct. We don't roll out during peak load either.

Considered at least starting your release canary during peak load?

We have talked about it. It is unlikely to helped with an event like this, and I don't recall an event where it would have. It also has the downside of extending our deployment cycle by a lot. Notably, we do run a canary internally, and that had no issues, which actually through us off for a while because while the app was partially down for users it was working for us and that hasn't happened to us in a while.
