Episode notes
Shift From Creative Build To Operational Mindset
- Deployment requires a different mindset than prototyping: focus on scalability, observability, and cost.
- Expect to refactor creative prototypes into more organized, maintainable systems before launch.
Instrument Your App With Observability
- Add observability so you can see user interactions, logs, and errors after deployment.
- Use logs, analytics, and monitoring to catch edge cases you didn't test locally.
Test For Functionality And Scale
- Use unit, functional, and load testing to catch failures before release.
- Feed performance findings back into tests so issues stay fixed over time.
