what's your best practices for messaging on a website update / rolling release / maintenance window?
UI pop-up that says the maintenance is soon / right now?
some way to quiet down the operations prior to the cut-over (if incompatible)?
all those crazy "we'll keep the old DB up and the new schema and backfill" things?
sometimes things can upgrade in place, a node at a time
sometimes the connections are never fully... drained...
maybe you could per-user feature flag upgrade them to the new flow...
