The Day I Nearly Broke Production

Early in my Cloud career, I was making what I thought was a small change to a configuration file. I'd been working on it locally, testing it, feeling confident. Then I committed and pushed — straight to the main branch.

Within seconds, a CI/CD pipeline picked up the change and started deploying it to production. My phone buzzed with an alert. My colleague looked over and said, very calmly, "Did you just push to main?"

I had. And the automated pipeline was already rolling it out.
