SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Production releases are error-prone and slow without an automated orchestration that coordinates PR checks, workflows, infrastructure health, and post-release verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CI/CD gated release: triggers the production deployment workflow after merging, ensuring prerequisites (CI green, successful builds) are met.
  • ECS rollout monitoring: tracks new task definitions, health checks, and service stability through deployment.
  • Post-release verification: validates health endpoints and logs, and surfaces a post-release report.
  • Diagnostics & rollback guidance: uses MCP servers to diagnose failures and guide safe rollbacks when needed.

Quick Start

Trigger the production deployment workflow and monitor the ECS rollout until the service is healthy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate production releases on ECS after a merge?

Automate production releases by triggering a deployment workflow post-merge, monitoring the ECS rollout, and validating live service health. This coordinates CI prerequisites, ECS task definitions, and health checks to ensure a stable deployment.

What is the best way to monitor an ECS rollout during a CI/CD deployment?

Monitor an ECS rollout by tracking new task definitions, service stability, and health checks through the deployment process. The orchestration observes the ECS service until it reaches a healthy state, verifying the live service continuously.

How do I verify service health after a production deploy?

Verify service health after a production deploy by validating live health endpoints and checking application logs. The process surfaces a post-release report to confirm the deployment succeeded and the service is stable.

Can I trigger a GitHub Actions deployment workflow automatically for staging verification?

Yes, you can trigger a GitHub Actions deployment workflow for staging verifications or production deploys. The orchestration applies to any post-merge release, ensuring CI green checks and successful builds are met before triggering.

What happens if my ECS deployment fails during rollout?

If an ECS deployment fails, the orchestration uses MCP servers to diagnose failures and guide safe rollbacks. It provides post-release diagnostics to help identify the issue and revert the service to a stable state.

Do I need CI checks to pass before triggering a production deployment?

Yes, CI checks must pass before triggering a production deployment. The orchestration enforces CI/CD gated releases by ensuring prerequisites like green CI builds are satisfied before initiating the ECS rollout workflow.
