DevOps & Release

Recommended Production Stack

• Kubernetes (EKS or equivalent managed cluster)
• PostgreSQL managed service (RDS or equivalent)
• Redis managed service
• Object storage for data lake (S3 or equivalent)
• CI/CD with GitHub Actions and container registry
• Docker for build packaging
• Helm for Kubernetes deployment management

Release Workflow

1. Build and test in CI.
2. Deploy to staging.
3. Run smoke and regression checks.
4. Approve production rollout.
5. Monitor KPIs and rollback triggers.

Reliability Practices

• Horizontal autoscaling for API and worker tiers.
• Canary rollout for high-risk changes.
• Error budget and SLO tracking.
