:compass: My Confidence Check Before Deploy: The “Last 60 Seconds Audit”

Before I ever click Deploy, I trigger my “Last 60 Seconds Audit” a tiny ritual powered by Postman and a dash of paranoia.

Here’s how it works: I run a single Postman collection that:

  1. Pulls all my key environment variables (base_url, token, version_tag, release_date).

  2. Sends a /health request to the target environment.

  3. Compares the response schema against the one from staging using this check:

pm.test("Schema consistency check", () => {
    pm.expect(pm.response.json().version).to.eql(pm.environment.get("version_tag"));
});

If the versions don’t match or a stale variable sneaks in, I don’t deploy.

Then and this is the non-technical part I take exactly one deep breath, rename my commit message to something I’d proudly read six months later, and then hit deploy.

:brain: Why it matters: It’s caught forgotten version bumps, outdated tokens, and even one sneaky staging URL all in 60 seconds.

My ritual: Code calm, check fast, ship clean.
