Shift focus from attempting to eliminate every bug before deployment to ensuring rapid recovery from failure in production. The cost of a quickly remediated production incident is often lower than the cost of maintaining complex, slow, and brittle pre-production environments. Invest heavily in observability, monitoring, and fast rollback capabilities.
Example
We accept the risk of minor bugs reaching production, provided we can detect and roll back a change in under five minutes. This is more efficient than maintaining a costly and slow system integration test environment.
