SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the verification of all quality gates, ensuring that a deployment is ready for production and minimizing the risk of failures or rollbacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Quality Gate Verification: Checks tests, SAST, coverage, performance baselines, and migration compatibility.
  • Artifact Integrity: Verifies that the artifact being deployed matches the one tested.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a new version of your payment service to production, run this skill to confirm all CI checks have passed, database migrations are safe, and smoke tests in the staging environment are successful.

Quick Start

Run the pre-deploy check for the artifact 'payment-service v2.4.0' targeting the 'production' environment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pre-Deploy Checklist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify CI gates and database migration compatibility before a production deployment?▼

Production deployment readiness is validated by checking CI test gates, SAST results, coverage baselines, and migration compatibility. This process provides a GO/NO-GO decision with detailed gate status and remediation steps for any blockers.

What is an automated pre-deploy checklist and how does it prevent deployment rollbacks?▼

An automated pre-deploy checklist prevents rollbacks by verifying artifact integrity and automating quality gate verification for tests, SAST, and performance baselines. It ensures the deployment artifact matches the tested version before reaching production.

Can I use this pre-deploy verification for staging environment smoke tests before production?▼

Yes, you can run pre-deploy verification to validate staging environment smoke tests before targeting production. It confirms successful smoke tests in staging before providing a final GO/NO-GO release decision.

How do I get a GO or NO-GO decision for my production release?▼

You get a GO or NO-GO decision for a production release by running a pre-deploy check on your artifact targeting production. The check evaluates CI gates, migration safety, and artifact integrity to output the decision alongside detailed remediation steps.

What should I do when CI quality gates fail during deployment readiness checks?▼

When CI quality gates fail during deployment readiness checks, you should follow the provided remediation steps for the blockers. The verification process outputs detailed gate statuses to help you resolve specific issues before attempting another release.
