# Documenso Production Checklist
## Overview
Complete checklist for deploying Documenso document signing integrations to production.
## Prerequisites
- Staging environment tested and verified
- Production API keys available
- Deployment pipeline configured
- Monitoring and alerting ready
## Pre-Deployment Checklist
### Configuration
- [ ] Production API key generated (separate from staging)
- [ ] API key stored in secure vault (not in code)
- [ ] Environment variables configured in deployment platform
- [ ] Webhook endpoint URL uses HTTPS
- [ ] Webhook secret configured
- [ ] Base URL correct for environment
### Code Quality
- [ ] All tests passing (`npm test`)
- [ ] No hardcoded credentials or API keys
- [ ] Error handling covers all Documenso error types
- [ ] Rate limiting/backoff implemented
- [ ] Logging is production-appropriate (no sensitive data)
- [ ] TypeScript strict mode enabled
### Security
- [ ] API keys have minimal required permissions
- [ ] Webhook signature verification implemented
- [ ] Input validation on all user inputs
- [ ] File upload validation (type, size)
- [ ] Signing URLs not exposed in logs
- [ ] Audit logging enabled
### Infrastructure
- [ ] Health check endpoint includes Documenso connectivity
- [ ] Monitoring/alerting configured for errors
- [ ] Circuit breaker pattern implemented
- [ ] Graceful degradation for Documenso outages
### Documentation
- [ ] Incident runbook created
- [ ] API key rotation procedure documented
- [ ] Rollback procedure documented
- [ ] On-call escalation path defined
## Deployment Procedure
### Step 1: Pre-flight Checks
```bash
# Verify staging health
curl -f https://staging.yourapp.com/health
# Verify Documenso API status
curl -s https://status.documenso.com/api/v2/status.json | jq '.status'
# Run final test suite
npm run test:integration
```
### Step 2: Deploy with Gradual Rollout
```bash
# Deploy to production (canary - 10%)
kubectl apply -f k8s/production.yaml
kubectl set image deployment/signing-service app=image:new --record
kubectl rollout pause deployment/signing-service
# Monitor canary for 10 minutes
echo "Monitoring canary deployment..."
sleep 600
# Check error rates
kubectl logs -l app=signing-service --since=10m | grep -c "ERROR"
# If healthy, continue to 50%
kubectl rollout resume deployment/signing-service
kubectl rollout pause deployment/signing-service
sleep 300
# Complete rollout to 100%
kubectl rollout resume deployment/signing-service
kubectl rollout status deployment/signing-service
```
### Step 3: Health Check Implementation
```typescript
// src/health.ts
import { getDocumensoClient } from "./documenso/client";
interface HealthStatus {
status: "healthy" | "degraded" | "unhealthy";
checks: {
documenso: {
connected: boolean;
latencyMs: number;
error?: string;
};
database?: {
connected: boolean;
latencyMs: number;
};
};
version: string;
}
export async function healthCheck(): Promise<HealthStatus> {
const checks: HealthStatus["checks"] = {
documenso: { connected: false, latencyMs: 0 },
};
// Test Documenso connectivity
const docStart = Date.now();
try {
const client = getDocumensoClient();
await client.documents.findV0({ perPage: 1 });
checks.documenso = {
connected: true,
latencyMs: Date.now() - docStart,
};
} catch (error: any) {
checks.documenso = {
connected: false,
latencyMs: Date.now() - docStart,
error: error.message,
};
}
// Determine overall status
const allHealthy = checks.documenso.connected;
const anyFailed = !checks.documenso.connected;
return {
status: allHealthy ? "healthy" : anyFailed ? "unhealthy" : "degraded",
checks,
version: process.env.APP_VERSION ?? "unknown",
};
}
// Express endpoint
app.get("/health", async (req, res) => {
const health = await healthCheck();
const statusCode = health.status === "unhealthy" ? 503 : 200;
res.status(statusCode).json(health);
});
```
### Step 4: Monitoring Setup
```typescript
// Monitor key metrics
interface DocumensoMetrics {
requestsTotal: number;
errorsTotal: number;
latencyP50Ms: number;
latencyP99Ms: number;
rateLimitHits: number;
}
class MetricsCollector {
private latencies: number[] = [];
private errors = 0;
private requests = 0;
private rateLimits = 0;
recordRequest(latencyMs: number, success: boolean): void {
this.requests++;
this.latencies.push(latencyMs);
if (!success) this.errors++;
// Keep last 1000 latencies
if (this.latencies.length > 1000) {
this.latencies = this.latencies.slice(-1000);
}
}
recordRateLimit(): void {
this.rateLimits++;
}
getMetrics(): DocumensoMetrics {
const sorted = [...this.latencies].sort((a, b) => a - b);
return {
requestsTotal: this.requests,
errorsTotal: this.errors,
latencyP50Ms: sorted[Math.floor(sorted.length * 0.5)] ?? 0,
latencyP99Ms: sorted[Math.floor(sorted.length * 0.99)] ?? 0,
rateLimitHits: this.rateLimits,
};
}
}
// Export to Prometheus/Datadog/etc
app.get("/metrics", (req, res) => {
const metrics = metricsCollector.getMetrics();
res.json(metrics);
});
```
### Step 5: Alert Configuration
| Alert | Condition | Severity | Action |
|-------|-----------|----------|--------|
| API Down | 5xx errors > 10/min | P1 | Page on-call |
| High Latency | p99 > 5000ms | P2 | Investigate |
| Rate Limited | 429 errors > 5/min | P2 | Reduce throughput |
| Auth Failures | 401/403 errors > 0 | P1 | Check API key |
| Webhook Failures | 4xx/5xx on webhook | P2 | Check endpoint |
```yaml
# Example Datadog alert config
alerts:
- name: documenso_api_errors
query: sum(last_5m):sum:documenso.errors{env:production} > 10
message: "High Documenso API error rate"
priority: P1
- name: documenso_high_latency
query: avg(last_5m):avg:documenso.latency.p99{env:production} > 5000
message: "Documenso API latency elevated"
priority: P2
- name: documenso_rate_limits
query: sum(last_5m):sum:documenso.rate_limits{env:production} > 5
message: "Hitting Documenso rate limits"
priority: P2
```
## Rollback Procedure
### Immediate Rollback
```bash
# Kubernetes rollback
kubectl rollout undo deployment/signing-service
kubectl rollout status deployment/signing-service
# Verify rollback
kubectl get pods -l app=signing-service
curl -f https://yourapp.com/health
```
### Feature Flag Rollback
```typescript
// Use feature flags to disable Documenso features
const documensoEnabled = await featureFlags.isEnabled("documenso_signing");
if (!documensoEnabled) {
throw new Error("Document signing temporarily unavailable");
}
```
## Post-Deployment Verification
```bash
# Run smoke tests
npm run test:smoke
# Verify document creation
curl -X POST https://yourapp.com/api/documents \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"title":"Test Document"}'
# Verify webhook delivery
# Check webhook logs in Documenso dashboard
# Monitor for 30 minutes
watch -n 30 'curl -s https://yourapp.com/health | jq'
```
## Output
- Deployed Documenso integration
- Health checks passing
- Monitoring active
- Rollback procedure tested
## Error Handling
| Alert | Condition | Response |
|-------|-----------|----------|
| Deploy failed | CI/CD error | Check logs, retry |
| Health check failed | Documenso down | Implement degraded mode |
| Rollback needed | Error spike | Execute rollback |
| Rate limits hit | Too many requests | Reduce throughput |
