One missing .env file nearly took our production down. During one of our projects, a routine deployment went live with everything seemingly in order. But moments later, critical services started failing, and our team quickly realized that something had gone terribly wrong. What went wrong The missing .env file caused the absence of essential environment variables, disrupting key integrations and causing service-wide failures, despite a smooth deployment process. - API keys and database credentials weren’t loaded - No validation check for missing configuration in the deployment pipeline What saved us Proactive logging and a rollback strategy allowed us to recover quickly, while long-term improvements to our deployment process have ensured this won’t happen again. - Logs helped us quickly identify the missing environment variables - A rollback restored system functionality within 30 minutes - We implemented environment variable validation and secure secrets management in CI/CD What seemed like a minor oversight had a significant impact on our production. This incident was a powerful reminder that environment configuration is just as crucial as code itself. Have you ever faced a similar issue where a small misconfiguration caused major disruptions?
