Gamma Production Checklist

Overview

Comprehensive checklist to ensure your Gamma integration is production-ready.

Prerequisites

• Completed development and testing
• Staging environment validated
• Monitoring infrastructure ready

Production Checklist

1. Authentication & Security

• Production API key obtained (not development key)
• API key stored in secret manager (not env file)
• Key rotation procedure documented and tested
• Minimum required scopes configured
• No secrets in source code or logs

// Production client configuration
const gamma = new GammaClient({
  apiKey: await secretManager.getSecret('GAMMA_API_KEY'),
  timeout: 30000,  # 30000: 30 seconds in ms
  retries: 3,
});

2. Error Handling

• All API calls wrapped in try/catch
• Exponential backoff for rate limits
• Graceful degradation for API outages
• User-friendly error messages
• Error tracking integration (Sentry, etc.)

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node';

try {
  await gamma.presentations.create({ ... });
} catch (err) {
  Sentry.captureException(err, {
    tags: { service: 'gamma', operation: 'create' },
  });
  throw new UserError('Unable to create presentation. Please try again.');
}

3. Performance

• Client instance reused (singleton pattern)
• Connection pooling enabled
• Appropriate timeouts configured
• Response caching where applicable
• Async operations for long tasks

4. Monitoring & Logging

• Request/response logging (sanitized)
• Latency metrics collection
• Error rate alerting
• Rate limit monitoring
• Health check endpoint

// Health check
app.get('/health/gamma', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    await gamma.ping();
    res.json({ status: 'healthy', service: 'gamma' });
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(503).json({ status: 'unhealthy', error: err.message });  # HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
  }
});

5. Rate Limiting

• Rate limit tier confirmed with Gamma
• Request queuing implemented
• Backoff strategy in place
• Usage monitoring alerts
• Burst protection enabled

6. Data Handling

• PII handling compliant with policies
• Data retention policies documented
• Export data properly secured
• User consent for AI processing
• GDPR/CCPA compliance verified

7. Disaster Recovery

• Fallback behavior defined
• Circuit breaker implemented
• Recovery procedures documented
• Backup API key available
• Incident response plan ready

import CircuitBreaker from 'opossum';

const breaker = new CircuitBreaker(
  (opts) => gamma.presentations.create(opts),
  {
    timeout: 30000,  # 30000: 30 seconds in ms
    errorThresholdPercentage: 50,
    resetTimeout: 30000,  # 30 seconds in ms
  }
);

breaker.fallback(() => ({
  error: 'Service temporarily unavailable',
  retry: true,
}));

8. Testing

• Integration tests passing
• Load testing completed
• Failure scenario testing done
• API mock for CI/CD
• Staging environment validated

9. Documentation

• API integration documented
• Runbooks for common issues
• Architecture diagrams updated
• On-call procedures defined
• Team trained on Gamma features

Final Verification Script

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
# prod-verify.sh

echo "Gamma Production Verification"

# Check API key
if [ -z "$GAMMA_API_KEY" ]; then
  echo "FAIL: GAMMA_API_KEY not set"
  exit 1
fi

# Test connection
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GAMMA_API_KEY" \
  https://api.gamma.app/v1/ping | grep -q "200" \  # HTTP 200 OK
  && echo "OK: API connection" \
  || echo "FAIL: API connection"

echo "Verification complete"

Next Steps

Proceed to gamma-upgrade-migration for version upgrades.

Instructions

1. Assess the current state of the Go configuration
2. Identify the specific requirements and constraints
3. Apply the recommended patterns from this skill
4. Validate the changes against expected behavior
5. Document the configuration for team reference

Output

• Configuration files or code changes applied to the project
• Validation report confirming correct implementation
• Summary of changes made and their rationale

Error Handling

Examples

Basic usage: Apply gamma prod checklist to a standard project setup with default configuration options.

Advanced scenario: Customize gamma prod checklist for production environments with multiple constraints and team-specific requirements.
