Identify the product boundaries
Map the users, tenants, data, and integrations the application must support. Separate product assumptions from operational requirements so the first release can validate the most important user journey.
Connect delivery and operations
Define application boundaries, tenant isolation, release pipelines, and observability together. Use incremental releases to test product and infrastructure decisions before making larger commitments.
Measure the complete service
Track user-journey performance, release lead time, incidents, and operating cost against a defined baseline. Set acceptance criteria for availability, recovery, and tenant-data separation before expanding.
