Production readiness checklist

Before switching a real integration on, confirm:

Security

• Your production API key is stored as an environment variable or secret, never hardcoded — see creating your first API key
• You have a plan for rotating and revoking credentials if one is ever exposed
• You've read PTERI's threat model and shared responsibility so you know what's on you vs. the platform

Operational

• Your code checks the successful field on every response, not just the HTTP status — see understanding the API response envelope
• You've tested authentication end-to-end, including the failure paths — see test authentication before production
• You know your plan's rate limit and have basic retry/backoff handling — see rate limits and safe retry behavior
• You've bookmarked the status page and know your support severity levels before you need them
