"The vast majority of our changes, including database migrations, continuously deploy to production without human involvement after the initial pull request is reviewed and merged. Deploying changes this way doesn't make them less reliable, but more so."
"Each step of validation a human might do, is now consistently done on every deploy, including many steps that are just onerous enough to drop off the standard operating steps."
"This migration has reminded me a lot of the Uber service migration, which prompted me to write Migrations: the only scalable solution for technical debt back in 2018."
Imprint transitioned from manual deployments to continuous deployment, allowing changes and database migrations to be automated post-review. This shift increased reliability by ensuring consistent validation steps. The migration process is compared to Uber's service migration, emphasizing the impact of coding agents on software development. The focus is on making software development easier and more efficient, moving away from manual processes that require significant attention to detail.
