Deployment & launch

A production launch checklist for a web app.

A live URL is not the finish line. Before launch, make sure the app, its supporting systems, and the people responsible for it are ready for real customers and real problems.

Request a website review

Confirm ownership and access

Know who owns the domain, hosting, source code, database, email, analytics, and third-party services before the launch becomes urgent.

Test the real customer paths

Verify sign-up, forms, payments, notifications, error handling, and the most important actions in the production environment—not only locally.

Prepare for the first issue

Set up practical monitoring, backups, analytics, error visibility, and a support path so the team can recognize and respond to problems after release.
