# Bright Data Production Checklist ## Overview Complete checklist for deploying Bright Data scraping integrations to production with zone verification, monitoring, and rollback procedures. ## Prerequisites - Staging environment tested - Production zone credentials in secrets vault - Monitoring and alerting configured ## Instructions ### Step 1: Zone and Credential Verification - [ ] Production zone active in Bright Data CP - [ ] Zone password stored in secrets vault (not `.env`) - [ ] API token scoped to production zone only - [ ] SSL certificate (`brd-ca.crt`) deployed - [ ] Separate zone from development/staging ```bash # Verify production zone is active curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer ${BRIGHTDATA_API_TOKEN}" \ https://api.brightdata.com/zone/get_active_zones \ | python3 -c "import sys,json; zones=json.load(sys.stdin); print([z['name'] for z in zones])" # Test production proxy connectivity curl -x "http://brd-customer-${BRIGHTDATA_CUSTOMER_ID}-zone-${BRIGHTDATA_ZONE}:${BRIGHTDATA_ZONE_PASSWORD}@brd.superproxy.io:33335" \ -s -w "HTTP %{http_code} in %{time_total}s\n" \ https://lumtest.com/myip.json ``` ### Step 2: Code Quality - [ ] No hardcoded credentials (grep for passwords, tokens) - [ ] Retry logic with exponential backoff (see `brightdata-rate-limits`) - [ ] Request queuing with concurrency limits (p-queue) - [ ] Response validation (check for CAPTCHA pages, empty responses) - [ ] Timeout set to 60-120s for Web Unlocker - [ ] Error logging include...
