Create a go-live checklist for Entropy Program deployments.

[johnnymatthews]

Child of #269.

Go-live checklists are documents used to ensure a smooth and successful launch of something (new apps, features, whatever). They outline the final steps and checks that need to be completed before a goes live to the public. Since Entropy is fairly novel, we should outline a few basic steps that devs should follow to make sure shit doesn't hit the fan when they deploy their Entropy Programs.

Potential checklist

This is a work-in-progress, but the general steps to making sure Entropy Programs are created and deployed properly are:

Pre-deployment

• Code review & audits (internal & external)
• Testing (unit, integration, regression, fee-optimization, etc)
• Docs (if necessary)
• Check for sec issues like reentrancy, overflow, access controls, time manipulation.

Deployment and monitoring

• Testnet deployments
• Post-deployment monitoring

Go-Live Procedures

• Communication plan
• Phased rollout (if needed)
• Emergency response plan (for when shit hits the fan)

Post-Launch

• User feedback/support
• Bug fix process
