01 Monitoring Scope

Production monitoring should cover authorization validity, success rate, latency, rate limits, webhook receipt, queue backlog, retry count, and last successful synchronization.

02 Retry Rules

Retry network timeouts and temporary service errors with backoff. Fix parameters, permissions, and business validation before retrying. Order creation, inventory adjustment, and shipment confirmation require a stable business or idempotency key.

03 Severity

LevelExampleRequirement
P1Broad order outage or duplicate shipmentStop risky actions and escalate immediately.
P2Persistent channel failure or inventory confirmation outageResolve within target time and notify the business owner.
P3Single record or noncritical field failureQueue and close through daily operations.

04 Production Acceptance

Use test orders to validate create, update, cancel, inventory change, shipment, and tracking confirmation. Confirm duplicate requests do not create duplicate business records and failures are observable, retryable, reconcilable, and owned.

05 Change Control

Validate field, status, version, and authorization-scope changes in test first. Document impact and rollback before scheduling production.
