What you get

Six artefacts, all of them yours on delivery. No phase closes without its output.

  1. 01Infrastructure as code for every environment, reviewed and applied from CI
  2. 02Container build under five minutes, cached and reproducible
  3. 03Deployment pipeline with staging gates and one-command rollback
  4. 04Secrets, environment configuration and access managed per environment
  5. 05Alerting and dashboards for the signals that predict an incident
  6. 06Handover session recorded, with the on-call runbook

WHEN NOT TO USE THIS

The application does not exist yet. Build it first; deploy it with a package.

You are on a platform-as-a-service and it works. Stay there until it does not.

The problem is application performance. That is PERFORMANCE, not infrastructure.
