We've covered quite a lot in this chapter, preparing peripheral things such as setting up version control, continuous deployment, and alerts. This might seem like a lot to do initially, but we will benefit from doing these things now before we get deeper into the development process. Even if you don't want to implement continuous deployment, it's still a good practice to set up a build process to validate the integrity of your code during development, especially if you are working in a team.
Next, we're going to start looking at the data layer of our customer website for the Azure Bakery case study.
