Deployment, versions & application operation
An editorial platform is based on several services, databases and applications distributed on the posts. Experience Reymann includes their articulation and environment and version management tools.

Rey的actif brought together back-office, client portal, PIM, image processing, InDesign Server managers, PDF services and desktop applications. A failure visible in a screen could come from a component located elsewhere in the chain.
Technical management requires understanding this organization: role of services, data used, expected resources and contacts necessary to diagnose a malfunction.
Distinguish between development and production
Container environments monitored with Portainer existed for development and for production. InDesign Server jobs also had separate environments.
This separation allows you to prepare for changes and check dependencies before they are made available. The recipe must cover a complete journey, from the user request to the result obtained in the documents or files.
Build and publish desktop applications
The system included a Rey’actif application generator for Windows and Mac as well as monitoring of published versions. A Verdaccio package manager completed the environment.
These tools link development to use: dependencies, distributed version and compatibility with services must be taken into account during an evolution or diagnosis on a workstation.
Follow the operation with teams
The task interfaces, logs and processing reports provide benchmarks for observing the functioning of the platform. Coordination between developers, operations and production allows an incident to be linked to the file and operation concerned.
Dtouch extends this practice in supporting business applications: preparing interventions, checking the results, maintaining the possibility of recovery and transmitting useful information to the teams.
Manage developers and project dependencies.
The technical management role brings together business teams, developers and specialists to maintain consistency from framing to production.

Reymann : pilot developers and specialists
Founder's Experience · Reymann
Building an editorial platform requires an organization capable of linking internal developers, specialized partners and production teams. The Reymann route gives concrete reality to this piloting.
