Production checklist

Org-wide production readiness checklist. Each repo can add its own deltas.

Security and config

  • Run the framework's production checklist (e.g. manage.py check --deploy for Django).
  • Set allowed hosts / origins to production domains only.
  • Use HTTPS and secure cookies.
  • Ensure secrets are stored in the environment or secret manager.

Data and storage

  • Confirm database backups and retention.
  • Ensure static/media storage is configured correctly.

Monitoring

  • Error monitoring (Sentry or equivalent) is enabled.
  • Health checks are wired to an uptime monitor.
  • Alerts are configured for critical services.

Background jobs

  • Ensure schedulers/workers are deployed and running.
