# Shipping and launch checklist
## Pre-launch
- [ ] Success criteria and rollback trigger defined
- [ ] Feature behind flag or dark launch when possible
- [ ] Migrations backward-compatible or reversible plan
- [ ] Dashboards/alerts for new paths (`observability-slo`)
- [ ] Runbook: who to page, how to revert
## Rollout
| Strategy | When |
|----------|------|
| Big bang | Low risk, small blast radius |
| Percentage | Gradual exposure with metrics watch |
| Cohort/region | Geo or tenant isolation first |
## During rollout
- Watch error rate, latency, business KPIs vs baseline
- Stop or roll back if thresholds breached (define before launch)
## Post-launch
- [ ] Remove temporary flags after stable period
- [ ] Document known issues and follow-ups
- [ ] Postmortem if incident (`postmortem-writing`)
