Production deploy checklist
Pick your stack and platform to get a tailored pre-launch checklist. Check items off as you go — the state is stored in the URL, so you can bookmark it or share it with your team.

Items that don't apply to your stack or platform are hidden — switching the selection above keeps what you've already checked, so you can compare setups without losing progress.
About this tool
Most launch-day incidents aren't exotic — they're a missing redirect, a certificate that didn't renew, an environment variable that only existed on the laptop, or a backup nobody ever tried restoring. A checklist turns those from surprises into ten minutes of verification.
The list adapts to what you're shipping: a static site on a managed platform gets HTTPS, headers, and caching largely for free, so the checklist focuses on DNS and operations. An API with a database on your own VPS gets the full treatment — firewall, backups with a tested restore, process supervision, log rotation.
Your progress lives entirely in the URL — nothing is stored anywhere else. Copy the address bar to share the exact state with a teammate.
