We built an application or a platform! However, we soon realize that it is t-minus two weeks before release and we have no way of supporting it when it goes to production. Operations has not been trained, no one will know if a component goes down, and somehow the pipeline used in testing does not work in production. Oops. In this talk, we'll cover ten tips from the operations battlefront to remember as you develop an application or platform. With a focus on operations as a user and designing for support, these tips range from reminders on systems quirks to practices on engaging operations early in the development process. By taking a bit of an "operations" mindset in the development process, we can ease the release process and move closer to DevOps culture.
