SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

A concise, risk-prioritized pre-launch checklist that helps PM-builders verify the critical deployment items often missed in prototypes and early releases, including secrets, backups, monitoring, analytics, and basic security checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Security & Secrets: Detect hardcoded keys, ensure .env is ignored, and confirm environment variables are set in the hosting platform.
  • Database & Backups: Verify connection strings are env vars, migrations are applied, seeding is complete, and backups exist.
  • Monitoring & Analytics: Confirm error tracking, logs, health checks, uptime monitoring, pageview tracking, and key event instrumentation.
  • Domain, Performance & Testing: Check SSL, page titles/meta tags, favicon, mobile/core-flow tests, and basic performance targets.
  • Use Case: Useful before sharing a Vercel/Railway/Render prototype with beta users or before promoting an MVP to a wider audience.

Quick Start

Run the deploy-checklist against your live URL and mark each item as done, blocker, or warning while noting fixes for any blockers.
