The One DevOps Metric Every Solo Developer Ignores

What’s up everyone! Back again for my daily drop.

We talk a lot about deployment frequency and lead time for changes, but if you're a solo dev or part of a small team building something like LaunchAlly, there’s one metric that rules them all: Time to Recovery (TTR) from a bad push.

When you're marketing, coding, and handling support all at once, a broken main branch is a massive bottleneck.

Here is my quick tip for today: Invest 20 minutes into setting up strict automated rollbacks. If a deployment fails health checks, let the system revert it instantly without your intervention.

Spend lots of hours working today...happy to go to bed now:)

What’s your go-to strategy for handling failed deployments on the fly?
