+Software reliability often fails when risks introduced in development only
+surface as catastrophic production outages. This Ignite talk introduces a
+continuous feedback loop that bridges the gap between static code and dynamic
+runtime. Practitioners will learn how to move beyond traditional "shift left"
+concepts to a unified model where infrastructure is standardized, policies are
+enforced as code, and production insights directly fuel the next deployment.
