Deployment Playbook

Deployment sequencing with preflight, rollout, verification, and rollback phases.

This playbook is for low-surprise releases.

Preflight

  • Verify artifact integrity
  • Verify env var parity
  • Confirm migrations and rollback script readiness

Rollout

  • Deploy to one node or canary target
  • Run smoke tests for auth, API, and static asset paths
  • Continue rollout in controlled batches

Verification

  • Check status codes, error rates, and handshake logs
  • Confirm key pages and historical routes
  • Validate redirects and canonical behavior

Rollback

  • Trigger rollback on hard thresholds
  • Restore known-good artifact
  • Re-run smoke and state checks
