Ownership and Adherence to Development and Deployment Guidelines

To ensure high-quality deployments, the team will implement the following practices:

1. Task Validation and Testing:

   • After deploying a task, the developer must conduct a comprehensive round of testing.

   • Testing results should be documented and updated in the relevant tasks.

2. Log Monitoring:

   • Continuous monitoring of logs and dashboard errors is mandatory.

   • The on-call team member will be responsible for checking and addressing any new errors appearing on the dashboard.

3. Staging Error Reporting:

   • A screenshot of the App Engine and GCP error reporting dashboard for staging must be attached to the task.

   • Merge requests to the master branch will only be approved if there are no critical errors on the dashboard.

4. Rollback Strategy:

   • A rollback strategy must be defined for each deployment.

   • A dedicated task for rollback procedures should be created in Jira, outlining the steps in case of any issues.

5. Deployment Documentation:

   • A deployment document must be prepared, detailing the updates to databases, Pub/Sub, and task queues.

   • The document should be reviewed and approved before merging into the master branch.

6. Unit Testing Standards:

   • Unit test cases should be written for every new function created.

   • Test cases must be developed from Work in Progress (WIP) to feature requests to ensure code reliability.
