Find out that I made a bug in production after deployong the app, what's the most professional way to handle...
I deployed a very important app last week; over the weekend, I realized that there is a bug in my code but I already deployed the app. The bug is very trivial and it's completely oversight on my part. I already know how to fix this bug (it would only take me a few minutes that is how trivial the bug is), but there's a whole convoluted process for pushing changes to production at my job. Many people have to sign off on it and the changes need to be re-tested.
Users have not reported the bug. I think I should own up to my mistake and admit that I cause the bug but I'm worried that people will get mad at me. What is the best way to go about this?
