# DevOps

> Shows how Metalama can help make your C# application production-ready, an important aspect of DevOps.

Canonical: https://postsharp.net/metalama/applications/devops.html

There is a significant difference between a prototype and a production-ready application. The former is meant to serve as a proof-of-concept and should only run on your computer for a 10-minute demo. The latter must be able to run unattended 24/7 at minimal operating costs. Metalama helps you transition your app from prototype to production with less boilerplate and fewer errors.
