Make alerting boring and reliable. Rotate credentials on a calendar, not only after incidents. Quick checklist that saved us time.

Quick checklist that saved us time. Run a pre-mortem; it surfaces surprises early. Push data contracts upstream so APIs don’t drift.

Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality. Benchmarks lie; production traffic tells the story. Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI.

Use feature flags generously for safe tests. Process tip that prevented a week of rework. Bias toward tools the team can actually operate.

Calm dashboards mattered more than fancy models during incidents. Small anecdote that might help. Train support to recognize false positives quickly.

We shipped something similar last quarter; notes below. We cut manual review time by ~30% just by clarifying thresholds. Prioritize measurable lift over theoretical accuracy.

A one‑pager playbook helped on-call engineers a lot. Ensure sandbox parity to avoid release‑day surprises. Small anecdote that might help.

Decide this with numbers, not vibes. If the key metric doesn’t move in 14 days, revert. We cut manual review time by ~30% just by clarifying thresholds.

The real cost driver was reprocessing, not inference. Two cents after running this through prod traffic. Design the rollout so rollback takes minutes, not hours.

Document assumptions so new teammates move faster. Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI. Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality.

We phased traffic: 5% → 25% → 60% → 100% to de-risk. I’d approach this a bit differently than most tutorials suggest. Optimize observability before model tuning.

We learned this the hard way during a vendor swap. Bias toward tools the team can actually operate. The real cost driver was reprocessing, not inference.

We hit rate limits on day three; lightweight caching saved us. If the key metric doesn’t move in 14 days, revert. Decide this with numbers, not vibes.

Design the rollout so rollback takes minutes, not hours. Counterpoint based on what stuck in reality. Ignore shiny features until you validate ROI.

Process tip that prevented a week of rework. Benchmarks lie; production traffic tells the story. Keep a kill switch handy for launch week.
