How?
How we do that on business level
We eliminate a downtime when updating a product by introducing only
reliable features that were previously tested with a small bunch of live
users, and improved afterwards. Therefore, the updated product
performs reliably at a large scale from the very beginning, so you can
start earning through it instantly.
