Release Checklist\n\n[[Github](https://github.com/HashNuke/release-checklist)] [[@HashNuke](https://twitter.com/HashNuke)]\n\n---\n\n## SQL \u0026 indexes\n* For new queries in the code, run [`explain`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/using-explain.html) and add required indexes ([Postgres Query Plan Visualizer](http://tatiyants.com/pev/))\n* For queries used for reporting, run [`explain`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/using-explain.html) and add required indexes\n* Identify and remove [n+1 queries](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/97197/what-is-n1-select-query-issue)\n* Use transactions where necessary\n\n## Caching\n* Cache whatever you can\n* TTLs for cache keys\n* Use cache keys with app version as prefix or suffix\n\n## Code\n* Comments for any hacks\n* Test cases for all code that isn't quickly comprehensible\n* Test any code that depends on randomisation\n* Respect third-party API limits\n* Request-response times\n\n## Data\n* Check affected rows/documents\n* Handle old values with fallbacks\n* [OR] Migrate/translate any existing data to new format\n\n## Micro-services\n* Check database fields that are read/written to by different components\n* Check all components that interface with anything related\n* Watch for errors across components during testing\n* Ensure High Availability for any new components\n\n## Load testing\n* Add monitoring limits\n* Test all auto-scaling rules\n* Disable/block write API calls to third-party APIs (comment code OR use firewall)\n\n## User-facing\n* Serve all assets via HTTPS (css, javascript, images, fonts, etc)\n* Payload for all XHR calls that might be affected\n* Support link is available on every webpage\n* Contact form works and contact information is available\n* Navigation links\n* Anything that depends on SMS (Reset password, 2FA, etc)\n* Cross-browser tests\n* Lookout for weird characters in views and check if unicode is used properly\n\n## Debugging\n* Build reports/pages/scripts to be able to debug quickly\n\n## Metrics and data\n* System stats\n* Queue message counts at regular intervals\n* Response codes from third-party API calls\n* Track errors\n\n## Communication\n* Inform co-workers about any changes to development setup and provide necessary scripts/commands to migrate\n* Update README/docs about changes\n\n---\n\n\u003e I found it useful to maintain a checklist when deploying code.
