Production-Readiness Grader
Evaluate your web application, microservices, or AI pipelines across 8 core production disciplines. Answer each question candidly to receive an instant reliability score, risk tier, and targeted remediation recommendations.
Evaluation Criteria Questions
Centralized Error Tracking & Sentry Release Tagging
Is centralized exception tracking (e.g., Sentry, Datadog) active in production with release versioning, environment isolation, and source maps?
Automated Test Gates in CI/CD
Does an automated test suite (unit, integration, or contract) execute on every pull request and strictly block merging when tests fail?
Zero Hardcoded Secrets & Vault / KMS Storage
Are all production credentials, database passwords, and third-party API keys stored in encrypted secret managers rather than committed code or plaintext files?
Idempotent Migrations & Connection Pooling
Are database schema changes automated with idempotent migrations, connection pooling configured (PgBouncer/RDS Proxy), and automated point-in-time backups verified?
Bounded HTTP Timeouts & Queue Dead-Lettering
Do all downstream HTTP and RPC calls specify explicit connection/read timeouts, and do background worker queues have dead-letter routing for poison-pill messages?
Immutable Builds & Fast Rollback Capability
Can your team roll back a failed deployment to the prior immutable build within 2 minutes without requiring a new code commit or recompilation?
Strict Runtime Type & Schema Validation
Are inbound API request bodies, webhooks, and environment variables parsed through strict runtime validation schemas (Zod, JSON Schema, Envalid) before processing?
Structured Outputs & Token Budget Limits
If utilizing LLMs, are outputs parsed with deterministic JSON schemas, prompt inputs bounded, and fallback handlers implemented for model rate limits or outages?
