Productieinzet

Productieinzet is a Dutch term that refers to the deployment of a software system, application, or component into a live or operational environment where it is used by end‑users. The phrase is commonly employed by software developers, DevOps teams, and IT managers to describe the transition from development, testing or staging to a production environment. It implies that the product has undergone sufficient quality assurance and is considered stable enough to support real‑world use.

In practice, a productie-inzet involves several activities: configuration of servers or cloud resources, setting up databases and networking, finalizing security permissions, monitoring and logging, and coordinating rollback plans in case of failure. Compared to a staging deployment, a production deployment usually has stricter requirements regarding performance, uptime, and compliance. It may also trigger alerts, load testing, and scheduled maintenance windows.

The term is not limited to software. In manufacturing and industrial contexts it can also denote the allocation of production resources—machines, workers, or production lines—to a specific product line or output schedule. For example, a factory may announce the productieinzet of a new assembly line to increase output of a certain product.

Related concepts include continuous integration and delivery, blue‑green deployment, canary releases, and rollback strategies. Documentation of a productie-inzet typically includes release notes, configuration scripts, and change control logs. Effective communicatie and coordination between development, operations, and business stakeholders are essential to minimise downtime and ensure a successful production deployment.
