Magic.dev App Production Checklist
The complete checklist for launching your Magic.dev app. Every check you need before going live, written for non-technical founders.
Magic.dev-specific concerns
Magic.dev's broad changes require end-to-end security review and full integration testing — the large scope of changes means individual file review isn't sufficient
Security checklist
Authentication protects all private routes and API endpoints. Input validation on every form and data handler. No API keys or secrets in client-side code. Security headers configured (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options). CORS restricted to your domain. Rate limiting on login and signup endpoints. HTTPS enforced everywhere.
Performance checklist
Images optimized and lazy-loaded. Code splitting implemented. Lighthouse performance score above 80. Database queries have indexes on filtered columns. Pagination on all data lists. Static assets served with cache headers. No unnecessary client-side JavaScript.
Reliability checklist
Error tracking configured (Sentry or similar). Custom error pages for 404 and 500 errors. Error boundaries catch rendering failures gracefully. Loading states on all async operations. Graceful handling of network failures. Health check endpoint for monitoring. Database backups configured.
Full checklist
Security-sensitive code paths verified end-to-end, not just file-by-file. Full integration test suite passes. No remaining instances of old pattern after migration PRs. Rust code verified with Clippy and ownership review. Performance benchmarks pass for affected code. SAST scan on full changeset. Documentation updated for any API changes. All call sites of changed APIs updated and verified by compiler. No partial updates leaving inconsistent state. Security invariants verified across the full change. Dependent services or consumers updated if interfaces changed. Review by domain expert for affected areas. Operational concerns (migrations, feature flags) handled alongside code changes. Monitoring confirms expected behavior post-deploy. Rollback plan exists for broad breaking changes
