What pitfalls should we avoid?](/discussions/36940-we-are-about-to-scale-up-the-number-of-devices-in-service-what-pitfalls-should-we-avoid) We are going from R&D into production so the number of units deployed will grow over the next year. Are there steps we can take to minimize the potential complexities and problems? Hey there Michael, biggest tip would be to make sure that your application is built against Device OS 2.x and above, which is our stable release branch designed for enterprise reliability. You'd also probably like to hear from folks in our community (not just me), so I encourage you to post this at community.particle.io where I'm sure you'll get lots of engagement from folks who are deploying with Particle today.

There are a number of folks in our community (community.particle.io) who have gotten involved in open source projects as a way to sharpen their development skills and have even done paid development work on the Particle platform. There are tons of folks there who would give you pointers, so I encourage you to post in our forums as well if you haven't already :-) Answered: Will Hart on February 12, 2021 [Your answer](/discussions/36862-hi-i-have-currently-started-to-do-projects-using-photon-at-present-i-am-looking-for-job-in-it-sector-can-you-help-me-through-it/comments/new?remote=true) 0 Question on: Sentry [What is your primary use case for Sentry in application monitoring, and how has it impacted your development process?](/discussions/what-is-your-primary-use-case-for-sentry-in-application-monitoring-and-how-has-it-impacted-your-development-process) What is your primary use case for Sentry in application monitoring, and how has it impacted your development process?
