Solana Pre-deployment Checklist & Monitoring Strategy — Forge College

Why does a production-ready pre-deployment checklist and monitoring strategy matter for Solana apps? A clear, validated plan prevents outages, speeds incident resolution, and gives stakeholders confidence before mainnet rollout.

What you'll learn: This lesson guides you to synthesize your existing artifacts into three polished deliverables: a consolidated pre-deployment checklist document, a monitoring strategy with validated thresholds and incident flows, and a concise presentation deck with demo notes for stakeholder walkthroughs. You'll map each checklist item to automated tests or manual verification steps, specify Prometheus and Grafana metrics and alerting rules, and produce reproducible troubleshooting runbooks with commands and scripts to validate fixes in a test environment. The lesson also covers CI gating rules for BPF program builds, RPC endpoint redundancy patterns, rollout sequencing, and verification checkpoints for live demos using synthetic traffic and simulated incidents.

Who this is for: Intermediate developers and DevOps engineers deploying Solana programs who already know Solana program basics, Rust/BPF build concepts, and fundamentals of monitoring and CI/CD.

Key topics covered:
- Consolidated pre-deployment checklist mapped to tests and manual verifications
- Monitoring strategy: metrics, Prometheus scrape configs, Grafana dashboards, and validated alert thresholds
- Alerting rules, escalation flows, and on-call responsibilities
- Troubleshooting runbooks with reproducible commands and synthetic health-check scripts
- CI/CD gating, BPF program deployment sequencing, and RPC redundancy patterns
- Presentation checklist and acceptance criteria for a live stakeholder demo
