Production Engineering
Explains how modern software is built and run in production. Focus is on shortening lead time from idea to release while improving resilience, performance, and clarity. Systems are designed for repeatable delivery, rapid feedback, and graceful failure so teams can evolve services without disrupting users.
Elements include build and release pipelines, immutable infrastructure, container orchestration, and internal developer platforms that standardize environments and tooling. Observability turns telemetry into insight; SLOs define reliability targets; on-call and incident practices restore service quickly; chaos experiments harden resilience. Security and compliance are embedded through automation rather than gates, and capacity is managed with elasticity and sound cost controls.
You’ll leave able to stand up CI/CD, define SLOs and error budgets, build paved roads for teams, and run reliable, auditable services at scale. Expect fewer surprises, faster recovery, clearer ownership, and a developer experience that makes the right way the easy way.
