We did this at low traffic sites too, even having "nights" at our disposal. Correctness is so nice – each code deploy happens calmly, no moving parts to coordinate ("hey okay code deploy now run the migration, quickly!!1")
How high traffic sites rename a db column without downtime. 1. Add new column 2. Double write to old/new column 3. Backfill new column 4. Switch reads/writes 100% to new column 5. Delete the old column Each step is a code deploy

So I wrote something for hiring managers: labnotes.org/on-hiring-but-n… Not your every day advice: How to deal with the stress of interviews? Why you should have a hiring buddy? How to see potential in candidates? Who should write the job listing (hint: not recruiters)?

Status pages should detect traffic spikes. "We believe everything's fine, but too many people checking this page, so maybe something's up."
