Architecture & security checklist
Use this before a launch, a fundraise, or a scale-up. Print it, paste it into Notion, or walk it with us on a free review.
Architecture
- Clear service / module boundaries and ownership
- Data flow documented (reads, writes, events)
- Failure modes identified for critical paths
- Environments (dev / staging / prod) actually match
Security
- Authn/authz model reviewed for privilege creep
- Secrets not in source; rotation path exists
- Dependency and image scanning in CI
- Sensitive data classified and access-logged
Delivery & quality
- CI runs tests and lint on every PR
- Deployments are repeatable (not tribal knowledge)
- Rollback path known and practiced
- Observability: logs, metrics, alerts on user-facing failures
Reliability
- Backups tested, not just configured
- Rate limits / abuse controls where public
- On-call or owner for production incidents
- Performance budgets for critical user journeys
