An important thing to know about deploys is that they rely on the deploy tool, and the process takes about 30–45 minutes to complete. Occasionally, the deploy tool will need attention, and we will not be able to run a deploy. In the event of a meeting or presentation, we have some backup options, including showing a sandbox website instead of staging. In the event of a bug, some visual bugs might be able to be temporarily corrected using custom coding.
