Deployment Helper

Safely deploy to $ARGUMENTS (defaults to staging if not specified).

Pre-Deploy Checklist

!git status && echo "---" && git log --oneline -3

1. Environment Confirmation

Target: $ARGUMENTS

⚠️ If deploying to production, I will explicitly confirm with you before running any deploy commands.

2. Pre-flight Checks

# Ensure clean working tree
git status

# Run tests
npm test

# Run linter
npm run lint

# Check for security issues
npm audit --audit-level=high

# Build
npm run build

3. Deploy Steps

Depending on your setup, deploy with one of:

# Vercel
vercel --prod   # production
vercel          # preview

# Railway
railway up

# Fly.io
fly deploy

# AWS (via CDK or SAM)
cdk deploy
sam deploy

# Kubernetes
kubectl apply -f k8s/ --namespace=production

# Docker Compose
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

# Heroku
git push heroku main

# GitHub Actions (trigger workflow)
gh workflow run deploy.yml --ref main -f environment=$ARGUMENTS

4. Post-Deploy Verification

# Check health endpoint
curl -f https://your-app.com/health

# Tail logs for errors
# vercel logs --follow
# fly logs
# kubectl logs -f deployment/app-name

5. Rollback (if needed)

# Vercel: revert to previous deployment in dashboard
# Fly.io:    fly releases list; fly deploy --image <old-image>
# Kubernetes: kubectl rollout undo deployment/app-name
# Git:        git revert HEAD && git push

Rules

  • Always run tests before deploying
  • Always confirm before deploying to production
  • Keep a rollback plan ready
  • Monitor error rates for 10 minutes post-deploy
