Production Checklist
What to confirm before putting City into production.
Before launch, confirm at least the following:
Security
DOWNCITY_FEDERATION_ADMIN_SECRET_KEYexists only in trusted environments.- Clients only receive
user_token, not provider keys. DOWNCITY_FEDERATION_TOKEN_SIGNING_KEYis configured in City.- Admin env endpoints only accept trusted requests.
Stability
- Every service that should be exposed has been registered through
base.use(service). - AI models have been registered through
Provider.model()+AIService.use()and include the required actions. - Critical provider env values have been configured.
- The city table uses an explicit database URL.
- before hooks block over-quota users.
- after hooks record usage and error clues.
Multi-city setup
city_idclearly separates cities.- Usage records include
city_id,user_id, andmodel. - Different cities have default quota strategies.
Rollback
- Provider keys can be rotated quickly.
- Model definitions can be paused or replaced quickly through code deployment.
- Service errors are captured by
onErroror your logging system.
