2 min readAn original planning guide. Use the linked primary documentation for platform details and the supported procedure for your environment.
Choose the sequence
Write the order for final data capture, deployment, configuration checks, traffic change, and verification. Give each action an accountable owner.
Handle new writes
Decide how orders, submissions, and edits will be paused or reconciled. Document any expected interruption before the team starts.
Set decision points
Name the checks that allow progression and the conditions that stop it. A rollback involving changing data needs more care than reverting static files.
Verify both destinations
Confirm the new site works through its public address and identify whether requests or writes still reach the old system.
Worked scenario
See the plan in practice.
For a store, an apparently correct homepage is insufficient. The run sheet includes order creation, payment state, email delivery, and inventory reconciliation.
