DevOps Audit Checklist for Web Applications
A practical guide to reviewing deployment workflows, environments, monitoring, and production release risk for web applications.
What to review first
Start with repository structure, environment variables, build commands, deployment targets, rollback options, monitoring, and ownership of production secrets.
AWS and deployment considerations
For AWS-backed applications, review Amplify configuration, AppSync or Lambda usage, Cognito flows, logs, costs, and deployment permissions without assuming a specific certification or partner status.
Publishing requirements
Before publishing, add a practical checklist, screenshots or examples where useful, and internal links to DevOps, AWS, and maintenance service pages.
