Lucy_Bai | 1 month ago | on: Ask HN: Running UPDATEs in production always feels heavier than it should
I’ve seen teams handle this exactly the same way — snapshots, SELECT first, second pair of eyes, manual checks.
Out of curiosity: at what point did this stop feeling “rare but scary” and start feeling like “this is happening often enough that the process itself becomes the bottleneck”?
Was it: – number of production systems – frequency of fixes – or cross-team coordination cost?
I’m trying to understand where that line actually is in practice.
