Production Configuration
Production configuration should be explicit and reproducible. Environment variables, database connections, logging configuration, authentication secrets, external service credentials, and build settings should be documented.
Do not rely on local development assumptions. Production may have different domains, HTTPS requirements, cookie behavior, caching, runtime constraints, and environment variables.
A deployment checklist should include authentication, error handling, monitoring, database migrations, rollback strategy, and cache behavior.
Key Takeaways
- Production configuration differs from local development.
- Document required environment variables.
- Test domain, cookie, caching, and authentication behavior in a production-like environment.
