The Solo-Dev Ship Checklist – a 10-item pre-launch checklist for indie devs

You're about to deploy your first solo project. Here's the exact 10-step checklist that keeps you from learning the hard way — written from real operating lessons, not theory.

• 1. Pin your dependencies before you push
• 2. Take a pre-deploy backup you can actually restore
• 3. External health check, not localhost
• 4. Tested rollback — run it once before it's needed
• 5–10. Secrets, alerting, scripted deploys, payment e2e, invoice template, same-day post-mortem
