<p>I recently started <a href="/daily/2024/12/18/self-hosting-podcast">self-hosting the episodes for the Beyond Blocks podcast</a>.</p>
<p>Instead of hosting the episodes on a third party service, the MP3 files are hosted on my server and played using the HTML5 audio element.</p>
<p>The first step was to add the files to my website codebase and deploy them to the server. This was the smallest deployable iteration of this project.</p>
<p>The second iteration was to change the player on the episode page.</p>
<p>This is still a work-in-progress as I need to finish building the podcast feed to submit to iTunes, Spotify, etc.</p>
<h2 id="here%27s-the-thing">Here's the thing</h2>
<p>I didn't need to wait to finish this before I could change the player, and I didn't need to do that before uploading the MP3 files.</p>
<p>Each was its own deployable step, and this is how I like to approach tasks.</p>
<p>I like to break things down as much as possible to find the smallest piece of task that can be committed and deployed.</p>
<p>Deploying features iteratively is less risky that deploying everything at once.</p>
<p>You're deploying changes in smaller parts, making it less likely for something to go wrong, and easier to identify and resolve any issues.</p>
<p>And, if you need to roll back or revert a change, you can affect only the part you need instead of everything.</p>
