Going Live: Monitoring

In our series on getting ready to go live, this post focuses on monitoring. Monitoring is crucial for understanding how your application is behaving and to get notified of issues before they become apparent to your users. Launching an application without monitoring is like driving a car without a fuel gauge. Sure you can drive the car for some time, but at some point you’re going to run out of gas. Similarly your app can run out of resources, or other issues may arise and you won’t know until it’s too late. There are three areas of monitoring we’re going to cover: infrastructure, external, and application performance monitoring. Let’s dive in!

Work Is Work

It’s not that small things aren’t important – most products are a collection of small experiences, and consistently ignoring small refinements in favor of new features can lead to a disaster of a product. So, this isn’t a call to ignore those small things, but to appropriately value them, because they take work too.
