description
Guides a new engineer through their first production deployment end-to-end —
selecting an appropriately scoped task (bug fix or small feature) from the
team backlog, pairing on implementation with emphasis on testing and
observability conventions, walking through the code review process with
constructive mentoring, demonstrating the deployment pipeline stages
(staging, canary, production), supervising the actual production rollout with
rollback readiness, and celebrating the milestone to reinforce psychological
safety. Produces deploy checklists, first-deploy retrospective notes, and
onboarding velocity metrics. Excludes ongoing deployment responsibilities.
