Lightning Talk: Developer's Toolbox for Testing in Production
summary
Meetup moves monoliths to cloud native stacks with SPAs on S3 behind CDNs and microservice backends and avoids expensive multiple environments by testing in production. The practice relies on feature flags to gate new behavior and to unwrap legacy code, canary releases to migrate traffic via pipelines, and consolidated observability with logs, metrics, traces for aggregation, time‑series monitoring and distributed transaction inspection. Claims: fewer environments, faster rollouts, safer removals of 10+ year legacy services.
