Hey folks,
I wonder if you know platforms (not upwork) where I can find short term projects to work on and get paid.
I’m on a parental leave since a few months now and I need to work a bit (4 hours a day maximum).
I’m an SRE with +6 years of experience, I worked on high availability platform, CI/CD, observability, etc.
I’m researching how engineers make safer production changes.
Many teams now use strategies like automated tests, regression tests, canary releases, automated rollbacks, and better observability, but production incidents still happen after deployments.
I’m curious about real experiences from engineers:
- What type of change makes you the most cautious before deploying?
- What was the last deployment that made you nervous and why?
- What gives you enough confidence to press the deploy button?
For me, database migrations are still one of the hardest categories.
Would love to learn how other teams approach this.

For me, database migrations are still one of the hardest categories because rollback is often not as simple as reverting application code.
