“If it works on my laptop” is not a deployment strategy.
Production Is a Different World
Real users introduce:
-
Load
-
Unpredictable behavior
-
Security threats
-
Network failures
What works locally often breaks at scale.
Infrastructure Is Part of the Product
Decisions about:
-
Hosting
-
Backups
-
Monitoring
-
Scaling
…directly affect reliability and user trust.
Invisible Work Matters Most
When infrastructure works, nobody notices.
When it fails, everyone does.
