@skorusARK The factory is the product

That's interesting because it flips the usual framing — most teams obsess over what ships out of the pipeline, not the pipeline itself. In software the equivalent is: your deploy process, your test infra, your observability setup — that's the factory. If those are fragile, it doesn't matter how good the code is. Five words, but it's a genuine reframe worth sitting with.
