Deploy and Monitor

When deploying to production:

1. Deploy the new version using your deployment tool or pipeline.
2. Watch the deployment logs for errors during startup.
3. Verify the health endpoint returns 200 after deployment completes.
4. Monitor error rates for the first 15 minutes. Compare to the baseline before deployment.
5. Monitor latency metrics. Check for regressions in response time.
6. Spot-check critical user flows manually: login, core feature, data submission.
7. If error rates spike or critical flows break, roll back immediately — investigate after reverting.
8. After 30 minutes with no issues, notify the team that the deploy is stable.
