      <p>There's a common saying about not deploying changes on a Friday to prevent outages or issues before the weekend.</p>

      <p>I've also seen this where people won't deploy after a particular time of the day as it's too close to the evening.</p>

      <h2 id="when-did-you-last-deploy%3F">When did you last deploy?</h2>

      <p>The longer it's been since the last deployment, the risker each deployment is.</p>

      <p>If there are weeks or months of changes, it will be risky regardless of which day it is.</p>

      <p>If your last deployment was an afternoon, deploying a small change the following morning will be low risk, even on a Thursday and Friday.</p>

      <h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>

      <p>If you're nervous about deploying on a Friday, I think you need to aim for smaller and more frequent deployments to minimise the risk.</p>

      <p>The issue isn't when you're deploying. You likely need to do so more often.</p>

      <p>If there is an issue after a large release, it will take more time to debug or roll back compared to a small release which is easier to find and fix the problem or revert that single change.</p>
