Operations and observability

Once your application is in production, there’s a set of problems we need to address:

• Observability: Do you know how your app is doing? Is it under load, is it slow, is it failing, and is it secure?
• Scalability and resilience: Can your app handle traffic spikes? Can it scale up and down, and is it resilient to failures?
• Monitoring and feedback: Do you know when something goes wrong? Can you alert the right people, and do you have a feedback loop to improve the app over time?
• Governance and compliance: Are you compliant with regulations? Do you have the right policies in place, and are you managing data responsibly?
• Future proofing: Are you prepared for future changes? Can you adapt to new technologies, and are you continuously improving your app?
