Shipping software should be boring
summary
Claim: shipping should be boring so teams deploy often and catch bugs fast. Live demo deploys Bee Pong through Honeycomb and AWS tooling to production in about 15 minutes per deploy while verifying traces and build step durations. The live site records 22 unique players yesterday with session lengths typically 20–32 seconds, session IDs used to look up traces, and the deployed game works and surfaces high‑cardinality observability to validate changes.
