AI rarely kills a “job that needs to be done.” But it's likely to kill standalone, single-step features that can be done “good enough” inside an existing platform (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce) or a general AI assistant.
An MVP can be lightweight, but it can’t be fragile. This reliability baseline is the minimum set of checks that prevent avoidable outages, data loss, and security incidents while you iterate quickly: (1) measure the core journey, (2) centralized logs + correlation IDs, (3) health checks + safe deploys, (4) SLOs for critical endpoints, (5) backups + restore drills, (6) security basics, (7) runbooks + on-call readiness.
