Production checklist

Before enabling production traffic:

  • configure the real deployment URL explicitly;
  • store the API key in a secret manager;
  • grant only the scopes the integration uses;
  • verify HTTPS and the expected certificate chain;
  • set request and connection timeouts based on your environment;
  • keep automatic write retries disabled unless a reconciliation strategy exists;
  • handle 401, 403, 404, 422, and 429 separately;
  • use page size 200 only when response size and latency are acceptable;
  • attach correlation IDs without overriding Authorization;
  • sanitize logs and traces;
  • monitor 429 and 5xx rates;
  • persist returned resource IDs immediately after create operations;
  • avoid concurrent reorder operations on the same workflow;
  • test credential revocation;
  • pin the OpenAPI contract used by your integration tests.
