K8s Application Production Readiness

[phillebaba]

We need a checklist which defines all things that should be done before going into production. This should either link to internal docs or to other external resources.

The purpose of this is to give a good overview of things to do before releasing to production.

Good topics to cover in the checklist.

• Read language specific docs
• Readiness/Liveness probes, refer to this blog as a good source
• Incoming HTTP
• Outgoing HTTP
• DB
• Metrics
• Pod disruption budgets
• Network Policies
• Scaling and resource requests/limits
