Mistral AI Production Checklist

Overview

Complete checklist for deploying Mistral AI integrations to production. Covers credential management, code quality gates, health endpoints, circuit breaker resilience, gradual rollout, and rollback procedures.

Prerequisites

• Staging environment tested and verified
• Production API keys from La Plateforme
• Deployment pipeline (CI/CD) configured
• Monitoring and alerting ready (see mistral-observability)

Instructions

Step 1: Pre-Deployment Verification

Credentials

• Production API key stored in secret manager (never in env files or code)
• Key tested with curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" https://api.mistral.ai/v1/models
• Key has appropriate model access scope
• Fallback key available for rotation

Code Quality

• npm run typecheck passes
• npm test passes (unit + integration)
• No hardcoded keys: grep -r "MISTRAL_API_KEY\|sk-" src/ --include="*.ts"
• Error handling covers 401, 429, 500+ status codes
• Rate limiting/backoff implemented
• Logging excludes message content and API keys

Model Configuration

• Using versioned model IDs or -latest aliases intentionally
• maxTokens set to prevent runaway costs
• temperature set appropriately (0 for deterministic, 0.7 for creative)
• Token budget alerts configured

Step 2: Health Check Endpoint
