Documentation

README

Shipping and Launch

Overview

Ship with confidence. The goal is not just to deploy — it's to deploy safely, with monitoring in place, a rollback plan ready, and a clear understanding of what success looks like. Every launch should be reversible, observable, and incremental.

When to Use

  • Deploying a feature to production for the first time
  • Releasing a significant change to users
  • Migrating data or infrastructure
  • Opening a beta or early access program
  • Any deployment that carries risk (all of them)
