Why do certain software systems fail on a specific day (Friday/Sunday)? For example, getting error 500 "registration module issues :(" on their part.

Do they have some kind of deployment day then? Even so, this isn't acceptable for today's standards.
Oh, let's cut off our customers from purchasing something on those days. What?
Something leads me to think they're not hosted in the cloud then. Outdated architecture..

    Probably because people think "ah I'll just push this to prod then I'm done for the weekend."

    Last place I worked had an explicit ban on Friday deployments for all but emergency purposes just for that reason. Thursday was out as well actually, just so we weren't scrambling to rush to fix things Friday.
