# Mistral AI Production Checklist ## Overview Complete checklist for deploying Mistral AI integrations to production. Covers credential management, code quality gates, health endpoints, circuit breaker resilience, gradual rollout, and rollback procedures. ## Prerequisites - Staging environment tested and verified - Production API keys from La Plateforme - Deployment pipeline (CI/CD) configured - Monitoring and alerting ready (see `mistral-observability`) ## Instructions ### Step 1: Pre-Deployment Verification **Credentials** - [ ] Production API key stored in secret manager (never in env files or code) - [ ] Key tested with `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" https://api.mistral.ai/v1/models` - [ ] Key has appropriate model access scope - [ ] Fallback key available for rotation **Code Quality** - [ ] `npm run typecheck` passes - [ ] `npm test` passes (unit + integration) - [ ] No hardcoded keys: `grep -r "MISTRAL_API_KEY\|sk-" src/ --include="*.ts"` - [ ] Error handling covers 401, 429, 500+ status codes - [ ] Rate limiting/backoff implemented - [ ] Logging excludes message content and API keys **Model Configuration** - [ ] Using versioned model IDs or `-latest` aliases intentionally - [ ] `maxTokens` set to prevent runaway costs - [ ] `temperature` set appropriately (0 for deterministic, 0.7 for creative) - [ ] Token budget alerts configured ### Step 2: Health Check Endpoint ```typescript import { Mistral } from '@mistralai/mistralai'; interface HealthStatus { ...
