Deployment philosophy

Deployment is treated as an engineering control plane decision, not a one-time action. Every environment should be reproducible from declared configuration and explicit runbooks.

Deployment topology

Production baseline

LB/TLS -> API Service -> Worker Pool -> Connector Queue -> SCIM Consumers
Keep queue depth and retry policy visible in deployment-level dashboards.

Observability chain

Service Health -> Metrics -> Alerts -> Runbook -> Incident Ticket
Alerts should indicate whether the failure is data, policy, or transport.

Readiness sequence

  1. Validate Linux prerequisites and kernel/network assumptions.
  2. Deploy service unit, secrets handling, and reverse proxy path.
  3. Run endpoint smoke checks and compare expected audit emissions.
  4. Harden observability alerts before traffic cutover.
