Post-deploy checks

Use this after any deploy or service creation. Keep it short; stop when a check fails.

1) Confirm deploy status

list_deploys(serviceId: "<service-id>", limit: 1)

• Expect status: "live".
• If status is failed, inspect build/runtime logs immediately.

2) Verify service health

• Hit the health endpoint (preferred) or / and confirm a 200 response.
• If there is no health endpoint, add one and redeploy.

3) Scan recent error logs

list_logs(resource: ["<service-id>"], level: ["error"], limit: 50)

• If you see a clear error signature, jump to the matching fix in troubleshooting-basics.md or error-patterns.md.

4) Verify env vars and port binding

• Confirm all required env vars are set (especially secrets marked sync: false).
• Ensure the app binds to 0.0.0.0:$PORT (not localhost).

5) Redeploy only after fixing the first failure

• Avoid repeated deploys without changes; fix one issue at a time.
