Best Practices

✅ DO

• Use infrastructure as code
• Implement CI/CD pipelines
• Use container orchestration
• Implement health checks

• Implement blue-green or canary deployments

❌ DON'T

• Deploy directly to production
• Skip testing before deploy
• Forget to backup before migrations
• Deploy without rollback plan
• Skip monitoring after deployment
• Hardcode credentials
• Deploy during peak hours (unless necessary)
