What checks should block a production deploy?

Type checks, focused tests, build, critical API smoke checks, secret/config validation, migration readiness, SEO/analytics gates, and route-level browser checks should block normal releases.

How do you handle secrets in CI/CD?

Secrets belong in managed environment settings or secret stores, never in source, screenshots, public logs, analytics payloads, or client bundles.

Can this work with Azure Static Web Apps?

Yes. The release model can cover static assets, API routes, environment variables, preview builds, host checks, and post-deploy validation.

What is the fastest way to improve release confidence?

Start by automating the checks that prove revenue-critical paths still work: auth, forms, lead routing, payments, reports, provider calls, and top SEO pages.
