version-release-protocol

To automate ECS deployment, this protocol runs a 7-step release process with automated quality gates, version incrementing, artifact packaging, and production deployment, including rollback procedures to ensure stability.

A 7-step software release protocol includes automated quality checks, version number incrementing, contribution wall updates, code commits, local builds, artifact packaging, and deployment to production ECS servers.

You increment version numbers and update contribution walls during the protocol's initial steps before code commits and local builds, ensuring traceability and documentation for the production deployment.

Yes, you can use this release protocol to roll back a failed ECS deployment, as it manages rollback procedures and ensures production stability through rigorous post-deployment validation checks.

Before deploying to production, the protocol requires automated quality gates including build, lint, tests, security, and API health checks to verify the code and ensure safe deployment.

You should avoid using an automated release protocol if your project lacks a structured ECS deployment target or if your workflow cannot accommodate a rigid 7-step versioning and quality gate verification process.
