  • Scalability approach
  • Caching strategy
  • Known bottlenecks

Error Handling

Error Scenario Handling Strategy Alert/Notification
Scenario 1 Retry / Fail / Fallback Yes/No
Scenario 2

Testing Strategy

  • Unit tests
  • Integration tests
  • Performance tests
  • UAT approach

Deployment

  • Environment requirements
  • Deployment steps
  • Rollback plan
