You know the ten minutes before a deployment. The finger near the button. A dashboard open in the next tab. That low hum of waiting for something to go wrong.
I sat through those ten minutes more than I can count now! If you have been following this series then it was for the notification scheduler refactor this time. I had braced for them all week.
Nothing happened.
The change went out. The checks that needed to be green were green. The queue kept scheduling notifications. No alert fired. I stayed on the dashboard longer than I needed to, waiting for the problem I was sure was coming.
There was no problem.
