This page describes deployment at a high level without assuming a specific hosting environment. The repo contains multiple deployment targets (local/dev, cloud, and cluster-based), so the source of truth is the operational code and runbooks, not a single fixed set of steps.

What “deployment” means in Materi

  • Building and releasing service artifacts
  • Applying configuration and secrets for an environment
  • Migrating stateful dependencies (when required)
  • Verifying health checks and observability before traffic

Where to find the real instructions

  • Ops runbooks: Operational runbooks
  • Disaster recovery: DR runbook
  • Deployment scripts: scripts/ (repo root)
  • Service-specific build/run targets: each service’s Makefile / README.md

Suggested deployment order (baseline)

  1. Provision dependencies (Postgres/Redis) and verify connectivity.
  2. Apply environment configuration (non-secret config first, then secrets).
  3. Deploy application services.
  4. Deploy observability (metrics/logs/alerts) and confirm telemetry is flowing.
  5. Run a smoke test (HTTP + collaboration if applicable).

Verification checklist

  • Health endpoints return success for all critical services.
  • Database migrations (if any) have completed and the schema is compatible.
  • Logs show no crash loops or repeated fatal errors.
  • Key dashboards and alerts are enabled for the environment.

Rollback and safety

Rollback strategy depends on whether a change is schema-breaking.
  • If a change is backwards compatible, rollback can often be a simple version revert.
  • If migrations are involved, ensure you have a documented downgrade/restore plan.
