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
- Validate Linux prerequisites and kernel/network assumptions.
- Deploy service unit, secrets handling, and reverse proxy path.
- Run endpoint smoke checks and compare expected audit emissions.
- Harden observability alerts before traffic cutover.
Deployment entry points
Launch readiness controls
- Validate host, proxy, and service checks before enabling write scopes.
- Run scripted smoke checks from one trusted client identity and one production-like tenant profile.
- Confirm backup and restore runbook before release-day change windows.
