Your production-readiness checklistTry it yourself
checklist = ["pipeline < 10 min", "build once, deploy by SHA", "readiness probes", "graceful shutdown",
             "secrets in a manager", "SLO + burn-rate alerts", "rollback tested"]
for i, item in enumerate(checklist, 1):
    print(f"[ ] {i}. {item}")

Output

[ ] 1. pipeline < 10 min
[ ] 2. build once, deploy by SHA
[ ] 3. readiness probes
[ ] 4. graceful shutdown
[ ] 5. secrets in a manager
[ ] 6. SLO + burn-rate alerts
[ ] 7. rollback tested
