Delivery pipeline

Document the journey from commit to production, including quality checks, approvals, and observability hand-offs.

Continuous delivery pipeline highlighting build, test, security, deploy, and observe stages
Highlight ownership, tooling, and release criteria for every stage.

Release strategies

Progressive delivery

  • Blue/green, canary, and feature flags reduce blast radius.
  • Automate rollback triggers based on metrics and alerts.
  • Pair with synthetic tests to validate core journeys.

Operational readiness

  • Document runbooks with dependency diagrams and recovery steps.
  • Keep configuration as code and enforce immutable infrastructure.
  • Integrate game days to rehearse failure scenarios.

Environment topology

Environment topology diagram showing development, testing, staging, production, and recovery
Align environments to release stages and identify where synthetic and live testing occur.
Automate environment provisioning to keep drift low and developer feedback fast, then close the loop with Observability dashboards that surface release health in real time.
