• Health management, monitoring and recovery

• Immutable artefact repository

• Log aggregation

In this interactive talk, we will explore the critical capabilities necessary to create a mature production platform with these charac teristics. We will present these capabilities in the form of a useful rubric for you to create your own Minimum Viable Platform effect ively.

What’s more, you will gain insights on what life is like in the day-of-the-life of teams who have the operational maturity of a Minimu m Viable Platform.
