What hosting platforms are covered?

The skill includes logic for managed platforms like Vercel and Railway, traditional VPS setups with PM2, and containerized environments like Docker and Kubernetes.

What does the Deployment Procedures skill do?

It provides a strategic framework for managing production releases, emphasizing decision-making, verification checklists, and emergency recovery over simple script execution.

How does it help with failed deployments?

It outlines specific rollback principles, including when to trigger a rollback and how to perform them across different platforms to restore service as quickly as possible.

Does this skill provide copy-paste bash scripts?

No, it focuses on teaching the 'why' behind deployment steps so you can adapt procedures to your specific platform and unique environment requirements.

Does it support zero-downtime deployment strategies?

Yes, it explains the principles and selection criteria for Rolling, Blue-Green, and Canary deployment strategies to minimize user impact during updates.

Deployment & DevOps

Guides developers through safe production release workflows, rollback strategies, and platform-specific decision-making logic.

About

The Deployment Procedures skill empowers developers to approach production releases with a systematic, risk-averse mindset rather than relying on memorized scripts. It provides a comprehensive framework for the entire deployment lifecycle, including platform-specific decision trees (Vercel, VPS, Docker, K8s), rigorous pre-flight verification checklists, and structured 5-phase workflows. By focusing on the principles of 'thinking over memorizing,' it helps users implement zero-downtime strategies and execute rapid rollback procedures when releases go wrong, ensuring high availability and professional-grade DevOps operations.
