Replit Production Checklist

Overview

Complete checklist for deploying Replit apps to production using Autoscale or Reserved VM deployments. Covers configuration, secrets, health checks, custom domains, rollback procedures, and monitoring.

Prerequisites

• Replit Core, Pro, or Teams plan (deployment access)
• App tested and working in Workspace
• PostgreSQL database provisioned (if needed)
• Custom domain (optional) with DNS access

Production Deployment Checklist

Phase 1: Configuration

• .replit deployment section configured:

[deployment]
run = ["sh", "-c", "npm start"]
build = ["sh", "-c", "npm ci --production && npm run build"]
deploymentTarget = "autoscale"  # or "cloudrun" for Reserved VM

• replit.nix includes only required system packages (trim dev-only deps)
• NODE_ENV set to "production" in .replit env section
• Port reads from process.env.PORT

Phase 2: Secrets

• All secrets configured in Replit Secrets tab
• Secrets sync enabled (Workspace <-> Deployment)
• No hardcoded credentials in source code
• Startup validates all required secrets:

const REQUIRED = ['DATABASE_URL', 'JWT_SECRET'];
 missing = .( !process.[k]);
 (missing.) {
  .();
  process.();
}
