Production Readiness

Review security, reliability, accessibility, observability, support, and rollback controls before launch.

Audience: Partner engineering, security, operations, support, and release ownersLast Updated: October 2, 2026

Complete this review before requesting production enablement. Production activation is a coordinated decision: Travel Insured owns enablement of its services and partner account; the partner owns its deployment and operations; both parties own cutover verification and incident coordination.

Travel Insured Responsibilities

  • Confirm the approved integration scope, account capabilities, products, and enabled features.
  • Provision production endpoints, credentials, allowed origins, and component access through an approved secure channel.
  • Activate Travel Insured-owned services and account configuration.
  • Provide the authoritative production support and escalation path.
  • Participate in launch verification and investigate Travel Insured service or contract failures.

Partner Responsibilities

  • Deploy the approved application and configure production secrets, endpoints, and exact origins without exposing credentials.
  • Complete internal release, security, privacy, accessibility, QA, operations, and change approvals.
  • Configure monitoring, alerts, support ownership, incident response, and rollback controls.
  • Execute partner-side smoke checks using the approved production-safe scenario.
  • Stop or roll back the partner release when launch criteria fail.

Joint Responsibilities

  • Agree on cutover timing, contacts, launch checks, success thresholds, and rollback authority.
  • Verify authenticated connectivity and the enabled journey without duplicating a transaction.
  • Monitor initial production behavior and reconcile authoritative outcomes.
  • Coordinate escalation, customer communication, containment, recovery, and post-incident review.

Access and Security

  • Production endpoints and credentials were issued through an approved channel.
  • Sandbox and production secrets are separated and stored in an approved secret store.
  • Least-privilege server identities and authorization checks are in place.
  • Browser bundles, logs, analytics, support tools, and error messages contain no credentials or sensitive payment data.
  • Credential rotation and incident response owners are named.

Reliability and State

  • Timeouts, bounded retries, jitter, idempotency, and reconciliation follow approved contracts.
  • Purchase, payment, bind, and modification state transitions cannot complete twice.
  • Dependency failure and partial GraphQL response behavior is tested.
  • Rollback does not corrupt or replay customer transactions.

Observability and Support

  • Dashboards cover traffic, latency, failure category, and completion rates without sensitive payloads.
  • Alerts have owners, thresholds, and runbook links.
  • Correlation identifiers connect customer support to sanitized server diagnostics.
  • Support escalation and incident communication paths are rehearsed.

User Experience and Accessibility

  • Loading, success, pending, cancellation, and failure states are clear and non-color-dependent.
  • Keyboard, focus, labels, errors, status announcements, contrast, zoom, and reflow are manually reviewed.
  • Browser events are treated as UX signals; server authority controls final confirmation.
