Using an embedded database with CD

[camerondavison]

I have always been interested in the embedded database simplicity that it provides. I have never been able to wrap my head around using it with continuous deployment though. You touched on it a little bit in your blog post by mentioning 0 downtime deploys add a lot of complexity and can cause outages, but if you are expecting to deploy multiple times a day how do you keep a good uptime with a single process deployable? Curious if anyone has any thoughts or feedback on that.

There are tools for zero-downtime deployments like seamless for Go. I'm sure there's similar ones in other languages.
