SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reality checks provide evidence-based production readiness evaluation and quality gates to prevent premature releases, ensuring decisions are driven by verifiable data rather than claims.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-based gates for code quality, functional verification, deployment readiness, and operational readiness.
  • Structured evidence templates, checklists, and audit trails to support GO/NO-GO decisions.
  • Use cases include pre-merge PR reviews, staging promotions, and post-deploy health assessments across Cloudflare Workers and D1 deployments.

Quick Start

Run an end-to-end production readiness review by collecting evidence and applying the GO/NO-GO framework to a feature or deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate production readiness using evidence instead of claims?

Production readiness evaluation requires collecting verifiable data across code quality, functional verification, and operational checks. This framework applies structured gates and evidence templates to ensure deployment decisions are driven by facts rather than subjective claims.

What is a go-no-go deployment gate and how does it work?

A go-no-go deployment gate is a structured quality checkpoint that blocks premature releases by requiring verifiable evidence. It captures code quality, functional verification, and operational readiness metrics to support reproducible release decisions.

How do I run a production readiness review for a pre-merge PR?

Run an end-to-end production readiness review by applying the go-no-go framework to your feature. Collect structured evidence across code quality, functional verification, and deployment readiness to validate the PR before merging.

Can I use evidence-based quality gates for Cloudflare Workers and D1 deployments?

Yes, evidence-based quality gates support staging promotions and post-deploy health assessments specifically across Cloudflare Workers and D1 deployments, capturing operational readiness requirements for these environments.

What's the best way to prevent premature releases in CI CD pipelines?

Preventing premature releases involves applying evidence-based quality gates within your CI CD pipeline. By capturing code quality and deployment readiness requirements in a reproducible framework, releases are blocked until verifiable criteria are met.

When should I not use an evidence-based deployment readiness framework?

You should avoid evidence-based deployment readiness frameworks when your project lacks defined CI, staging, or operational metrics to capture. Without verifiable data sources for code quality and functional verification, the structured gates cannot function effectively.
