Checklist
1. Load Testing Results (K6 Baseline)
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | PARTIAL PASS |
| Owner | SRE Engineer |
| Evidence | load-tests/results/BASELINE-REPORT.md |
| Date tested | 2026-04-09 |
Findings:
- K6 v1.7.1 baseline run completed against local dev environment
- 4 test suites executed: Auth, Listings, Search, Payments
- Latency SLAs met at framework level (p50 < 3ms, p95 < 6ms, p99 < 19ms)
- Error rate SLA FAILED — auth/listings/payments return HTTP 500 due to dev-environment dependency issues (Prisma/DB not fully configured)
- Search tests skipped (Typesense unavailable in dev)
Blocker: Load tests must be re-run against a staging environment with fully operational backend dependencies (PostgreSQL, Redis, Typesense, VNPay sandbox). Framework-level latency is validated; business logic performance is not.
Required action:
- Provision staging environment with all dependencies
- Re-run K6 suites against staging
- Validate error rate < 1% across all critical paths
- Document production-equivalent load test results
2. Security Penetration Test Sign-off
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | FAIL |
| Owner | CTO / DevOps Engineer |
| Evidence | None — no formal pen-test report exists |
Findings:
- Automated security scanning exists (
.github/workflows/security.yml,.github/workflows/codeql.yml) - No formal third-party or manual penetration test has been conducted
- No security sign-off document exists
Blocker: Production launch requires a formal security assessment covering OWASP Top 10, authentication flows (JWT, OAuth, CSRF), payment endpoint security, and API authorization boundaries.
Required action:
- Schedule penetration test (internal or third-party)
- Scope: auth flows, payment callbacks (VNPay/MoMo/ZaloPay), admin endpoints, file upload, geospatial API
- Remediate critical/high findings
- Obtain signed pen-test report and remediation confirmation
3. Monitoring Alert Thresholds Configured
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | PASS |
| Owner | SRE Engineer |
| Evidence | monitoring/prometheus/alert-rules.yml |
Findings:
- 15+ Prometheus alert rules configured across multiple groups:
goodgo_api_latency— p99 latency warnings (>1s), critical SLO breach (>3s), per-endpoint latencygoodgo_api_errors— 5xx error rate alertsgoodgo_database— connection pool exhaustion, query latencygoodgo_infrastructure— disk, memory, CPU, container health
- Alert severity levels:
warningandcritical - Runbook URLs linked in alert annotations
- Grafana dashboards referenced for investigation
- AlertManager integration configured
Status: READY — Alert thresholds are well-defined and follow best practices.
4. Backup/Restore Verification Completed
| Field | Value |

| Status | PASS |
| Owner | SRE Engineer / DevOps Engineer |
| Evidence | docs/backup-restore.md, .github/workflows/backup-verify.yml |
Findings:

pg_dumpcustom format - 7-day retention policy (configurable via
BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS) - Automated weekly backup verification via GitHub Actions workflow
- RTO target: ≤ 30 minutes | RPO target: ≤ 24 hours
- Manual backup/restore procedures documented
- Restore tested and documented with step-by-step runbook
Status: READY — Backup procedures are automated, verified, and documented.
Recommendation: Consider WAL archiving for continuous point-in-time recovery to reduce RPO below 24 hours.
5. Incident Response Runbook Reviewed
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | PASS |
| Owner | SRE Engineer |
| Evidence | docs/RUNBOOK.md |
Findings:
- Comprehensive 41KB runbook covering:
- Service inventory and health checks
- 10 common incident scenarios (DB pool exhaustion, Redis failure, Typesense unavailable, high latency, payment callback failures, disk alerts, MinIO failure, AI service outage, log pipeline failure, 5xx spikes)
- 6 recovery procedures (DB restore, Redis flush, rolling restart, rollback, Typesense reindex, full host recovery)
- Escalation matrix
- Monitoring dashboard links
- Useful PromQL queries
- Environment quick reference
- Last updated: 2026-04-11
Status: READY — Runbook is thorough and up to date.
6. Database Schema Frozen (Migration Lockdown)
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | PASS (conditional) |
| Owner | DevOps Engineer / CTO |

migration_lock.toml) - 22 database models defined (User, Property, Listing, Payment, Subscription, etc.)
- PostGIS extension configured for geospatial queries
Condition: Schema must be formally frozen before launch. Recent migrations (4 on 2026-04-10/11) indicate active schema changes. A freeze date must be declared and no new migrations accepted after that date without CTO sign-off.
Required action:
- Declare schema freeze date (recommended: 48 hours before launch)
- Communicate freeze to all developers
- CTO approval required for any post-freeze schema changes
7. CI/CD Pipeline Green (Lint, Typecheck, Test, Build)

- e2e.yml — Playwright E2E test suite
- security.yml — Automated security scanning
- codeql.yml — GitHub CodeQL analysis
- load-test.yml — K6 load test automation
- backup-verify.yml — Weekly backup verification
Status: READY — CI/CD pipeline is comprehensive and covers the full quality gate (lint, typecheck, unit tests, build, E2E, security, load testing).
8. E2E Test Results
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | FAIL |
| Owner | DevOps Engineer / Backend Engineers |
| Evidence | e2e/ (31 test spec files across api/, web/, load/) |
Findings:
- 31 E2E test spec files covering API and Web surfaces
- Test infrastructure: Playwright with global setup/teardown
- Organized by domain:
api/(backend API tests),web/(frontend browser tests),load/(load scenario tests) - 2 tests currently failing (per last Playwright run)
- No saved
test-results/.last-run.jsonavailable for detailed failure analysis
Blocker: All E2E tests must pass before production launch.
Required action:
- Run full E2E suite:
pnpm test:e2e - Fix 2 failing tests
- Achieve 100% pass rate on the full suite
- Archive passing test results as evidence
9. Performance Benchmarks Documented
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | BLOCKED |
| Owner | SRE Engineer |

Findings:
- Framework-level latency benchmarks documented (p50/p95/p99)
- Business logic benchmarks not available (auth returns 500, search unavailable)
- No production-equivalent performance profile exists
- Blocked on staging environment availability
Blocker: Cannot establish meaningful performance benchmarks without a staging environment running all dependencies.
Required action:
- Provision staging environment
- Run K6 suites with real database, Redis, Typesense
- Document per-endpoint latency baselines (auth, listings CRUD, search, payments)
- Establish throughput capacity (max concurrent users per instance)
- Document resource utilization under load (CPU, memory, connections)
10. SSL/TLS Certificates Ready
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | FAIL |

docker-compose.prod.yml - No SSL/TLS certificate provisioning (Let's Encrypt, manual, or cloud-managed)
- Deployment doc lists SSL/TLS as an unchecked to-do item
- API and web services currently exposed on plain HTTP
Blocker: All production traffic must be encrypted via HTTPS.
Required action:
- Add reverse proxy service (nginx or Traefik) to
docker-compose.prod.yml - Configure Let's Encrypt auto-renewal (certbot or Traefik ACME)
- Enforce HTTPS redirect (HTTP → HTTPS)
- Configure HSTS headers
- Verify certificate chain validity
11. DNS Configuration Verified
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Status | FAIL |
| Owner | DevOps Engineer / CTO |
| Evidence | None — no DNS configuration documented |
Findings:
- No domain names registered or documented (e.g., goodgo.vn, api.goodgo.vn)
- No DNS zone files or configuration in
infra/ - No documentation for DNS provider setup
- Deployment doc does not reference DNS configuration
Blocker: Production requires domain names with proper DNS records.
Required action:
- Register production domain(s) (e.g., goodgo.vn)
- Configure DNS A/CNAME records for web (goodgo.vn) and API (api.goodgo.vn)
- Set up DNS monitoring/health checks
- Document DNS provider and record configuration in
docs/ - Configure appropriate TTL values

- Deployment doc lists CDN as an unchecked to-do item
Blocker: CDN improves Vietnamese user experience (latency, availability) and protects origin from DDoS.
Required action:
- Select CDN provider (Cloudflare recommended for ease; CloudFront if on AWS)
- Configure CDN for Next.js static assets (
_next/static/) - Set cache headers for immutable assets
- Configure CDN for image optimization (property photos)
- Set up DDoS protection rules
