When to Use
When reviewing deployment configs, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring setup, scaling strategies, or incident response.
Checklist
Deployment
- Health checks configured
- Graceful shutdown handling
- Rolling deployment (zero downtime)
- Rollback procedure documented
- Resource limits set (CPU, memory)
Monitoring & Alerting
- Application metrics exported (latency, errors, throughput)
- Alerts on error rate spike and latency P99
- Log aggregation configured
- Uptime monitoring on critical endpoints
Reliability
- Retry logic with exponential backoff
- Circuit breakers on external dependencies
- Timeouts on all network calls
- Graceful degradation when dependencies fail
CI/CD
- Tests run before deploy
- Linting and type checking in pipeline
- Secrets injected from CI, not committed
- Deploy requires approval for production
Incident Response Template
- Detect — what alert fired?
- Assess — impact scope (users, data, revenue)
- Mitigate — rollback, feature flag, or hotfix
- Resolve — root cause fix
- Review — blameless postmortem within 48h
