Deployment Checklist

Use this checklist before and immediately after production rollout.

Pre-deployment

• Choose and validate the target storage provider.
• Verify connection strings and secret injection.
• Set unique WorkerName format for all instances.
• Confirm retention policy values.
• Confirm retry and lease settings for expected workload profile.

Deployment steps

• Run store migrations (IDurableStackStoreMigrator).
• Deploy workers gradually.
• Watch logs and run metrics during ramp-up.
• Verify recurring schedules are initialized as expected.

Post-deployment validation

• Enqueue a known job and confirm successful completion.
• Verify run query APIs show expected status transitions.
• Verify retry and failure flows with a controlled fault test.
• If observability is enabled, verify event ingestion.

Rollback readiness

• Keep rollback artifact/version ready.
• Keep migration compatibility notes for your current release line.
• Define clear rollback trigger thresholds (failure rate, queue growth, lease contention).
