Task: Develop a strategy for mass updates and maintenance of website software
Develop a strategy for mass updates and maintenance of website software
Investigate ways to reduce the cost of technical changes that need to be deployed simultaneously across numerous independent websites.
Problem
Even if the content of hundreds of websites can be managed centrally, the software component remains a potential bottleneck. A new shared feature, bug fix, or component modification may require weeks of sequential updates across multiple projects.
We need to ensure that the growth in the number of websites does not turn every shared technical change into a linear volume of manual work.
What needs to be understood
We need to investigate what information about the software and website compatibility is necessary for an agent to first determine the applicability of a change, identify exceptions, prepare changes for suitable projects, and verify the result.
It is important not to assume that all websites must use the same stack or core version. Proprietary haih sites may provide a higher level of standardization, but the overall framework must also accommodate differing projects.
Related to unified action management, capabilities registry, and connecting custom websites.
Desired outcome
An operation like "roll out this feature to compatible sites" should primarily consist of task definition, automated research/execution, and exception handling, rather than manually repeating the same process dozens of times.
