Deploy Verify

Deploy & Verify Workflow

CLI-based deployment verification without browser dependencies. Use this after deploying any service.

Workflow

1. Identify Deployment Target

Determine which service was deployed and its verification endpoints:

• Vercel/static: Check the deployment URL with curl
• Docker: Check container status, then health endpoints
• Server (SSH): Verify service is running, then API health

2. Health Check

# HTTP health check
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" <URL>/health

# Full response with timing
curl -s -w "\n---\nHTTP %{http_code} | Time: %{time_total}s\n" <URL>/health

# Multiple endpoints
for endpoint in /health /api/status /api/version; do
  echo "$endpoint: $(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' <URL>$endpoint)"
done

3. API Smoke Tests

Test critical endpoints with actual requests:

# GET endpoint
curl -s <URL>/api/endpoint | head -c 500

# POST with auth
curl -s -X POST <URL>/api/endpoint \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"test": true}'

# Check response shape
curl -s <URL>/api/endpoint | python -m json.tool | head -20

4. Docker-Specific Checks

# Container running-
docker ps | grep <service>

# Recent logs (errors-)
docker logs <container> --tail 50 2>&1 | grep -i error

# Container health
docker inspect --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}' <container>

5. Log Monitoring

# Check for errors in last 10 minutes
docker logs <container> --since 10m 2>&1 | grep -iE "error|fatal|exception"

# Supabase: check edge function logs
# Check Supabase dashboard -> Edge Functions -> Logs

# Server logs
ssh user@server 'journalctl -u <service> --since "10 minutes ago" | grep -i error'

6. Generate Report

Output a verification summary:

DEPLOYMENT VERIFICATION REPORT
==============================
Service: <name>
Deployed at: <timestamp>
URL: <url>

Health Check: PASS/FAIL (HTTP <code>, <time>ms)
API Endpoints:
  - GET /api/endpoint: PASS (HTTP 200)
  - POST /api/endpoint: PASS (HTTP 201)
Container Status: Running (uptime: <time>)
Error Log: 0 errors in last 10 minutes

Overall: PASS/FAIL

Rules

• NEVER use browser tools for deployment verification
• Always check logs after verifying endpoints
• If any check fails, investigate before reporting success
• For Docker projects: verify both container status AND API responses
