Operations Guide
OpenForge projects document the full post-deployment lifecycle in addition to initial setup and installation.
Essential Operational Checkpoints
- Health Probes: Explicitly defined Liveness (
/healthz), Readiness (/readyz), and Startup probe contracts. - Observability: Standardized Prometheus metric endpoints, structured JSON logging, and OpenTelemetry trace conventions.
- Secret Isolation: Secrets are strictly separated from configurations and injected via environment variables or secret volumes.
- Upgrades & Rollbacks: Zero-downtime rolling updates, database schema migration compatibility, and emergency rollback runbooks.
- Backup & Recovery (DR): Automated regular backups verified through tested restore runbooks.
- Incident Response: Severity-based incident response workflows aligned with the Troubleshooting Guide.
