Production Driven Development: An Approach for Highly Effective Organizations

Production-Driven Development (PDD) is an approach that combines testing, monitoring, and deployment throughout every step of the Software Development Lifecycle. It focuses on increasing confidence, velocity, and quality while reducing time to launch in production. PDD relies on practicality, efficiency, hosting solutions like Vercel for rapid iteration through preview deployments, and synthetic monitoring tools like Checkly to test and monitor integration and live deployments seamlessly. By combining these elements, teams can deliver high-quality software with confidence, gain a competitive advantage, and outpace their competition.
