Deployment checklist and setup for MERN projects targeting Vercel, AWS, or Docker.
SKILL.md
2.4 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it
Purpose
Prepare a MERN project for production deployment with proper configuration, security hardening, and monitoring setup.
Arguments
--target <platform>— Deployment target (default:vercel)vercel— Vercel (recommended for Next.js)aws— AWS (Lambda + API Gateway or ECS)docker— Docker container (self-hosted)
--check-only— Run pre-deployment checklist without creating files
Pre-deployment checklist (always runs)
Environment
- All env vars documented in
.env.example - Production env vars set in deployment platform
-
NEXTAUTH_SECRETis unique 32+ char string -
NODE_ENV=productionin production - No secrets in code or committed files
Database
- MongoDB Atlas cluster created (or production DB ready)
- Connection string uses
mongodb+srv:// - IP whitelist configured (or
0.0.0.0/0for serverless) - Database user has minimal required permissions
Security
- Security headers configured (CSP, HSTS, etc.)
- Rate limiting enabled
- CORS configured for production domain
- Auth secrets rotated from development
Performance
- Build succeeds:
pnpm build - No TypeScript errors
- Bundle size reasonable (check
.next/analyzeif concerned) - Images optimized
Monitoring
- Error tracking configured (Sentry, etc.)
- Logging configured for production
- Health check endpoint working:
/api/health
What gets created (per target)
Vercel
vercel.json # Vercel configuration
AWS
serverless.yml # Serverless Framework config
or
Dockerfile # For ECS deployment
buildspec.yml # CodeBuild config
Docker
Dockerfile # Multi-stage build
docker-compose.yml # Local testing
.dockerignore # Ignore patterns
Workflow
- Run pre-deployment checklist
- Fix any blockers found
- Create deployment configuration for target
- Verify build succeeds
- Document deployment steps
Output
- Checklist results (pass/fail)
- Files created
- Next steps for deployment
- Environment variables needed in production
