What happens if a canary check fails during a production deploy?▼

When a canary check fails during a production deploy, the workflow handles the deployment failure gracefully and provides rollback guidance to help restore production health safely.

How do I verify production health after merging a PR and deploying?▼

You can verify production health after merging a PR by running canary checks, which monitor the deployment to ensure the release is stable and provide rollback guidance if issues arise.

Can I use this for semi-automated release scenarios or does it require full automation?▼

This supports both semi-automated and fully automated release scenarios. It enforces readiness checks before merging and deploying, with safe fallbacks if deployment fails, reducing production risk.

When do I need to enforce readiness checks before merging and deploying to production?▼

You need readiness checks before merging and deploying to production to reduce risk in release engineering. The workflow enforces these checks across version control, CI, and deployment tooling to ensure safe releases.
