# Deployment Guide

## Overview

This document describes the deployment process for [Application Name].

**Deployment Methods:**

## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

- Use infrastructure as code
- Implement CI/CD pipelines
- Use container orchestration
- Implement health checks
- Use rolling deployments
- Have rollback procedures
- Monitor deployments
- Document emergency procedures
- Use secrets management
- Implement blue-green or canary deployments

### ❌ DON'T

- Deploy directly to production
- Skip testing before deploy
- Forget to backup before migrations
- Deploy without rollback plan
- Skip monitoring after deployment
- Hardcode credentials
- Deploy during peak hours (unless necessary)
