Any project under load without observability is a black box. Bogdan treats headless Umbraco, Next.js, and SQL Server as the distributed system it really is, and shows how to see inside it, wiring up metrics, logs, traces, and continuous profiling on a Grafana-powered demo stack.
The newer versions of Umbraco have unlocked the ability to run Umbraco in new environments, including Kubernetes. This gives developers more room to experiment with Umbraco in new ways than ever before. Bogdan shows us one such experiment, creating an inventory management system (after all, aren't computers content as well?) in Umbraco that is hosted in Kubernetes.
When we're setting up CI/CD with Azure DevOps we're not just seeking to deploy to some random somewhere. Instead, we have a unified build we're seeking to deliver to development, staging, and production environments, each with a different version. Bogdan helps us fill in this missing step that can be left out of CI/CD tutorials, showing us how to set up our pipeline that doesn't end with us just "deploying something somewhere".
