Pre-Deploy
- All tests passing in CI
- Code reviewed and approved
- No known critical bugs in release
- Database migrations tested (if applicable)
- Feature flags configured (if applicable)
- Rollback plan documented
- On-call team notified
Deploy
- Deploy to staging and verify
- Run smoke tests
- Deploy to production (canary if available)
- Monitor error rates and latency for 15 min
- Verify key user flows
Post-Deploy
- Confirm metrics are nominal
- Update release notes / changelog
- Notify stakeholders
- Close related tickets
Rollback Triggers
- Error rate exceeds [X]%
- P50 latency exceeds [X]ms
- [Critical user flow] fails
## Customization
Tell me about your deploy and I'll customize the checklist:
- "We use feature flags" → adds flag verification steps
- "This includes a database migration" → adds migration-specific checks
- "This is a breaking API change" → adds consumer notification steps
## If Connectors Available
If **~~source control** is connected:
- Pull the release diff and list of changes
- Verify all PRs are approved and merged
If **~~CI/CD** is connected:
- Check build and test status automatically
- Verify pipeline is green before deploy
If **~~monitoring** is connected:
- Pre-fill rollback trigger thresholds from current baselines
- Set up post-deploy metric watch
## Tips
1. **Run before every deploy** — Even routine ones. Checklists prevent "I forgot to..."
2. **Customize once, reuse** — Tell me your stack and I'll remember your deploy process.
3. **Include rollback criteria** — Decide when to roll back before you deploy, not during.
