Deployment & Runtime Requirements
Purpose
To enable frequent, safe, and automated deployments across diverse environments while ensuring products are self-contained and operationally manageable.
Scope
Packaging standards, deployment automation, orchestration compatibility, runtime resource management, rollback capabilities, and environment portability.
Requirements
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| REQ-DEP-1 | Self-Contained Packaging | Product components MUST be packaged with all necessary runtime dependencies to run as standalone deployable units (e.g., container images or equivalent). |
| REQ-DEP-2 | No Fragile Shared Dependencies | Deployments MUST NOT rely on fragile shared components for internal product behaviour; shared platform services MUST be explicitly defined and treated as dependencies. |
| REQ-DEP-3 | Automated Deployment & Rollback | Products MUST support automated deployments and rollbacks, enabling frequent, low-risk releases including blue/green or canary strategies when justified. |
| REQ-DEP-4 | Orchestration-Friendly Lifecycle | Startup, shutdown, and scaling behaviour MUST be well-defined so orchestrators can start, stop, and replace instances without manual coordination. |
| REQ-DEP-5 | Observable Resource Needs | Runtime resource needs (CPU, memory, storage, network) MUST be specified and observable so capacity and scaling can be managed predictably. |
