The 2 AM deployment failure that made me rethink our entire notification strategy
Most teams rely on the built-in notifications, which often spam everyone with irrelevant updates or miss critical deployment failures entirely.
Last month, our production deployment failed at 2 AM. The team discovered this 6 hours later, when users began to complain.
We ditched the native notifications and built a custom solution using Logic Apps + PowerShell in our YAML pipelines.
Now we get targeted emails with actual context: build numbers, timestamps, and deployment statusโsent only to those who need them.
Ever miss a critical pipeline failure because of notification overload?
