This is a community led production checklist for server side applications. Depending on the scale of your product, it may not be feasible or recommended to fulfil every entry of this checklist. Adopting this checklist requires research, common sense, and planning.
This checklist is intended to be un-opinionated, while also remaining useful and clear. It's assumed your product has a web use, however many points can still be used outside of this context.
