# Deployment Guide
## Overview
This document describes the deployment process for [Application Name].
**Deployment Methods:**

- Automated CI/CD (preferred)
- Blue-green deployment
- Canary deployment
**Environments:**
- Development: https://dev.example.com
- Staging: https://staging.example.com
- Production: https://example.com

## 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)
