Deploy Checklist

Pre-deployment verification for Docker Swarm on Azure (live4.se).

Verification steps

Run each step and report pass/fail:

1. Build verification

dotnet build --configuration Release

2. Test verification

dotnet test --configuration Release

3. Git status

• All changes committed?
• On correct branch?
• Up to date with remote?

4. Configuration check

• No secrets in appsettings.json (only in environment variables)
• Connection strings use production values via env vars
• HTTPS enforced
• CORS configured correctly

5. Docker verification

docker build -t app:test .

6. Migration check

• Any pending EF Core migrations?
• Migration reviewed (Up and Down methods)?

7. Stress testing (MANDATORY)

Run stress tests against both API and frontend. For full details, thresholds, and script templates, read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../docs/stress-testing.md.

API (if the project has API endpoints):

k6 run --env BASE_URL=http://localhost:5000 tests/stress/stress-api.js

• p95 response time < 500ms
• Error rate < 5%
• Sustained throughput > 50 rps

Frontend:

npx @lhci/cli@0.14.x autorun --collect.url=http://localhost:5000

• LCP < 2.5s, FID < 100ms, CLS < 0.1, TTFB < 800ms
• Lighthouse score > 70

If stress tests are not set up yet, create them from the templates in .claude/docs/stress-testing.md BEFORE proceeding with the deploy.
