Your pipeline is fast. Your observability is mature. Your incident playbooks are tight. And your platform still has a blind spot - in the layer after deployment. This talk hands you a diagnostic for every control decision your platform makes: code, infrastructure, or runtime - and a single question that reveals the gap: when the decision is wrong, how fast can we undo it? Using real 2025/2026 postmortems and the latest DORA report findings, it argues that runtime control belongs on your platform roadmap as a shared capability, not a per-team scramble - especially in the AI-powered era. You'll leave knowing exactly where your runtime-layer gap lies and how to address it.
