Production launch checklist

Identity and access

• Verify every human account.
• Enable authenticator-based two-factor authentication for privileged members.
• Use the least-privileged organization role.
• Create separate application database roles instead of sharing owner credentials.

Data safety

• Confirm automated backups are healthy.
• Create and validate a restore point.
• Run a recovery drill and record the result.
• Test export and deletion workflows before customer launch.

Application readiness

• Require TLS in the connection string.
• Use connection pooling and bounded retry behavior.
• Run migrations with a deployment identity.
• Set storage, connection, and budget alerts.
• Subscribe the operations team to status and incident notifications.

Use the readiness dashboard

Console → Launch readiness evaluates live configuration and operational evidence. A green interface is not a substitute for a real restore, failover, and load exercise; attach those results to your release checklist.
