Deployment Strategy

Staging Environment

  • Test all features before production
  • Mirror production data (anonymized)
  • Load testing

Production Deployment

  • Blue-green deployment
  • Automatic rollback on health check failure
  • Gradual rollout (10% → 50% → 100%)

Monitoring & Analytics

  • Error tracking (Sentry)
  • Performance monitoring (Datadog)
  • User analytics (Mixpanel)

Success Metrics

User Engagement

  • Daily active users
  • Average session duration
  • Feature usage rates

Technical Performance

  • Page load time (target: <1.5s)
  • API response time (target: <200ms)
  • 99.9% uptime

Data Quality

  • Sync success rate (target: >99%)
  • Error rate (target: <0.1%)
  • Data consistency

User Satisfaction
