It did not. The deployment system at Uber was a f*ing nightmare.

Things would fail, rollback, and then the logs would have their errors truncated or something. I wasted so many days deploying botched releases from coworkers.

And the use of Phabricator at Uber was a nightmare. LLVM uses it correctly, IDK what Uber did but it was a PITA to do really anything.

Pair that with the siloed off teams where "every team is its own startup" mentality and you have constant fighting, power grabs, being blocked all the time, etc.




Look at it positively. At least the rollback is working. Our version of rollback is to redeploy the old version and hope that the database migrations will work with the old one.


That was absolutely a problem at Uber, too.
