Step 4 of 5

Deploy

We release carefully, verify the live environment, and preserve a recovery path.

Deployment is treated as a controlled operational change with versioned builds, configuration checks, health verification, and rollback planning.

What we examine

Environment-specific configuration
Versioned and reproducible releases
Database migration requirements
Health checks and post-deployment verification
Rollback or fallback procedures
User communication and operational readiness

Questions we answer

Has the release candidate passed its checks?
Are staging and production separated?
Are secrets excluded from source control?
What is the rollback procedure?
How will the system be verified after release?
Who responds if the release has a problem?

What this stage produces

A versioned release artifact
A documented deployment procedure
Configuration verification
Health-check and smoke-test results
Rollback instructions
A release record

Where people stay involved

A responsible person approves the release and makes the final decision to continue or roll back.

A practical example

We deploy to staging, test the public routes and integrations, verify desktop and mobile behavior, and then promote the approved image.
