Security and operations
Reliability is designed with the product
Security, observability and recovery are part of architecture, acceptance criteria and release delivery.
Security
Secure by default
- Deny-by-default authorization and least privilege
- OIDC, RBAC and domain isolation
- Secrets outside frontend and repositories
- Audit trail for critical reads and changes
- Server-side validation and safe attachment processing
- Honeypot, time checks, rate limits and configurable CAPTCHA for public forms
Reliability
Controlled partial failure
- Idempotency and outbox/inbox for critical exchange
- Timeouts, retries and bounded backoff
- Health/readiness and post-deploy smoke
- Backups, restore drills and rollback
- Structured logs, metrics and tracing
- Fail-closed behavior when evidence is missing
AI provides a signal or recommendation by default. Critical actions require an approval gate and are recorded in the audit trail.
