Shipping and launch checklist

Pre-launch

  • Success criteria and rollback trigger defined
  • Feature behind flag or dark launch when possible
  • Migrations backward-compatible or reversible plan
  • Dashboards/alerts for new paths (observability-slo)
  • Runbook: who to page, how to revert

Rollout

Strategy When
Big bang Low risk, small blast radius
Percentage Gradual exposure with metrics watch
Cohort/region Geo or tenant isolation first

During rollout

  • Watch error rate, latency, business KPIs vs baseline
  • Stop or roll back if thresholds breached (define before launch)

Post-launch

  • Remove temporary flags after stable period
  • Document known issues and follow-ups
  • Postmortem if incident (postmortem-writing)
