Part 5 Lessons learned
Health of infrastructure
Health of infrastructure Battle tested code
Health of infrastructure Battle tested code Thorough Monitoring
• Remember to build feedback system . – Test harness
should publish metrics in the same system where ops and project metrics are kept. – Have analytics or trending system on top of the metrics.
Collaborate more with Ops.
Some advice • Remember MIME types? • World wont be
fully automatic ever. Always automate the most time consuming task first. • No easy way out. The function domain requires you to understand man pages, rfps etc. • Choose a text editor rather than an Window manager based IDE.
