  1. 1 Validate in dev environment
    All changes must pass dev environment validation: unit tests, integration tests, build
    go test ./...
make run
curl http://localhost:5010/api/health
  2. 2 Promote to stage via deployment pipeline
    Use GitHub Actions CI/CD to build and deploy to stage environment
    git push origin main  # triggers GitHub Actions
# Actions builds container → pushes to GHCR → Dokploy deploys to stage VPS
  3. 3 Run stage validation
    Execute e2e tests and smoke tests against stage environment
    # Quality gates: 100% e2e + smoke tests pass, performance within 1.2x baseline
curl https://stage.shredbx.com/api/health
