Deepgram Production Checklist

Prerequisites

• A named service/data owner, approved model/provider/data-routing decision, and production rollback plan.
• Passing staging evidence for credentials, audio retention/consent, observability, rate limits, quality, and incident escalation.

Examples

Run the final production gate with a non-sensitive canary, verify alert routing and the redacted request receipt, then observe against the stated quality/latency/error threshold. If any gate fails, halt rollout and restore the previous approved configuration rather than extending the canary or disabling controls.

Overview
