LCR Deployment Schedule

Does anyone know what the deployment schedule is for LCR? From my observation, it seems that new versions of LCR get pushed out on Sunday mornings.

I ask, because it seems that LCR is down most often on Sundays, the day of the week that LCR is most used.

You've come to the same conclusion huh? LOL! As someone in IT - it frustrates me beyond belief that the website isn't stable, and is constantly down on Sundays.

I'm sure it is just as frustrating to the folks trying to fix this. Remember, they have church callings just like you do and have to deal with the same issues you deal with. It has been reported in the forum several times that this isn't a lack of servers or server quality. There are other issues that are not easily or quickly solved.

I'm just a regular member like everyone else and have no special knowledge of what is going on at CHQ with this, but based on what I have read in the forums, thinking CHQ is not aware of the issues and not aware of the frustrations it causes worldwide is incorrect. I think if there was an easy or straightforward fix, it would have been fixed long ago. I don't believe they roll anything out on Sundays - it is just that the load on Sundays aggravates the problems.

I'm not on the LCR team but a closely related team working on membership and unit data and we are very aware of the Sunday load. The only time we release anything on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday is to fix a problem that we have found. Our most common release day is Tuesday so that we have most of the week to make sure that the new things won't cause issues on Sunday.

I know the LCR team is also aware of the load and tries to follow a similar pattern.

For those who may be interested, this post, also by jonesrk, gives a very big glimse into the problem and the challenge the Church developers are facing as they try to resolve it as quickly as possible.
