Production system (IT)
In a production system or production system is a delivery environment ( English deployment environment ) having a problem-solving process by means of production rules implemented and client applications or user provides.
In contrast to a test implementation, real practical problems are solved here (mostly in the context of an industrial application) or an ongoing process is monitored and controlled. Before a productive system can be used, it must go through a series of strict test cycles in order to be able to catch and correct possible errors in advance.
The network environment for the production system is provided by an administrator and managed either by the administrator or, as part of continuous deployment , by a DevOps developer. Since a production system is a business-critical environment, a steady state is preferred in accordance with the principle “ never change a running system ” .
