Operations Guide

OpenForge projects document the full post-deployment lifecycle in addition to initial setup and installation.

Essential Operational Checkpoints

  1. Health Probes: Explicitly defined Liveness (/healthz), Readiness (/readyz), and Startup probe contracts.
  2. Observability: Standardized Prometheus metric endpoints, structured JSON logging, and OpenTelemetry trace conventions.
  3. Secret Isolation: Secrets are strictly separated from configurations and injected via environment variables or secret volumes.
  4. Upgrades & Rollbacks: Zero-downtime rolling updates, database schema migration compatibility, and emergency rollback runbooks.
  5. Backup & Recovery (DR): Automated regular backups verified through tested restore runbooks.
  6. Incident Response: Severity-based incident response workflows aligned with the Troubleshooting Guide.
