Many developers believe their job ends when the last line of a feature is committed. But in reality, the real work begins after that. After years of development, we learn that shipping code is just the beginning, making sure your app is production-ready is what truly counts.

So, what does production-ready truly means ? It's not always clear and it is certainly not an exact science. Your app might work without these steps, but will it last, survive, scale, recover when things get wrong ?

This is a practical, beginner friendly guide structured as a checklist, designed to help developers prepare their applications for the real world. From configuration management, observability to security, resilience patterns, and real-world deployment strategies, you’ll walk away after this talk with a practical checklist to ensure your app survives production.
