Apollo Deploy Process

Overview

Apollo uses [describe your actual pipeline here — e.g., GitHub Actions → staging → canary → prod].

Steps to Deploy

1. Merge PR to main
2. CI runs automatically (tests, lint, build)
3. Auto-deploys to staging
4. [Manual/auto] promotion to canary (X% traffic)
5. Full rollout after monitoring window

Rollback

• Use /rollback in #deploy-ops Slack channel, OR
• Revert the PR and re-deploy

Feature Flags

• We use [LaunchDarkly / Flipper / custom] for feature flags
• Naming convention: team_feature_description (e.g., growth_new_onboarding_flow)
• Flags must be cleaned up within 30 days of full rollout

Contacts

• #deploy-ops Slack channel
• Platform team owns the pipeline
• Escalate to [person/rotation] if blocked
