After deployment checklist

⚠️ When deployment has happened, please take on as much responsibility as possible and don’t assume someone else will find all the bugs.

We should all proactively seek out bugs individually.

Note that for the most important metrics (like avg response time) we have automated alerts and developers will be notified automatically about them (via Slack). But it’s also not possible to automate and maintain everything staying small and flexible (as we like), so, don’t rely on 100% on our alert system.

For All Deployments

  1. Ensure that your changes work on a live site.
  2. Ensure that the main related functionality is not broken.
  3. #errors--production Slack channel is silent
  4. #js-errors--production Slack channel is silent
  5. Check app logs: https://ixdf.org/admin/logs
