Quality Assurance
@MichaKutz
Having a lot of tests of course is very good, but test stages can be very different from production.
There is a lot more traffic in production, users do a lot of things, never occurring to a developer or even a tester, there is a lot more data… it is a messy place.
So it is actually a very good idea to monitor what happens to your service in production after deployment.
There is a lot of interesting things to monitor:
hardware, response times, response codes, business metrics…
Monitoring these things won't prevent bugs and issues in production, but it can dramatically reduce your response time and therefor the number of affected users.
