A Complete Production-Ready Checklist for Smooth, Safe Deployments

Deployments succeed or fail long before code reaches production.
After seeing recurring gaps in readiness, consistency, and post-deployment learning, I put together a Production-Ready Checklist — a structured, practical guide for safer and more predictable releases.

Here’s what’s inside:

✔️ End-to-end deployment readiness checklist

✔️ Templates: deployment plan, incident report, rollback, PDV

✔️ Real examples: successful deployment, failed deployment, lessons learned

✔️ Best practices across monitoring, testing, security & performance

I'm sharing it openly so others can use, suggest improvements, or adopt it internally.

Community Questions:

How does your team ensure deployment readiness?

What’s one check you never skip before a release?

What should be added or improved?
