[RFC] Maintenance Windows

Given the size the community has grown to and concerns around our current approach to maintenance, I’d like to get some feedback on when we should look to schedule maintenance going forward.

There’s two cases covered by the poll, so please choose the all options that fit your preferences.

Case 1: Non-interactive Maintenance This covers any maintenance where we don’t actively need to monitor the upgrade process; Copying data from one location to another, etc. (Usually, this could be left overnight and brought back up in the morning)

Case 2: Interactive Maintenance This covers any maintenance that requires us to perform a series of actions and continually monitor the process to ensure no issues; Upgrading Mastodon or Lemmy, database migration, or upgrading the Kubernetes cluster. (Usually, this would need to occur during the day due to time constraints)

To vote, please find the corresponding pinned comments and upvote them!

If you’ve got any questions, concerns, etc. please leave them below and we’ll get back to them asap!
