Repeatable releases reduce avoidable deployment errors and make recovery more predictable.
A dependable deployment starts with a known artifact and a clear record of its source revision. Keep build and release steps repeatable instead of relying on undocumented manual actions.
Separate readiness checks from deployment. Verify configuration, database compatibility, and health signals before shifting traffic, and retain a known rollback path.
After release, observe user-facing health signals. A successful command is useful evidence, but it does not prove that the application serves requests correctly.
