# Move from development to production

> Recheck credentials, trust, data, and value before connecting your application to production

Treat production as a separate environment, not as a new hostname for the same setup. Recheck credentials, identities, providers, templates, privileges, federation, legal effect, and value.

## Promotion checklist

| Area           | Confirm before promotion                                                                      |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Neuron         | Production host, operator, supported version, enabled packages                                |
| Credentials    | Production provisioning, storage, rotation, recovery, and revocation                          |
| Identity       | Accepted providers, review policy, required assurance, and migration rules                    |
| Contracts      | Approved production templates, parameters, parties, roles, and signing policy                 |
| Neuro-Features | Supported creation and transfer rules, state-machine definition, and event history            |
| Payments       | Supported product and provider, currency or value semantics, limits, approval, reconciliation |
| Federation     | Trusted domains, remote participants, failure behavior, and permitted data sharing            |
| Events         | Durable delivery or polling, replay behavior, deduplication, and alerting                     |
| Operations     | Logs without secrets, metrics, backups, incident owner, rollback or recovery                  |

## Promotion sequence

```text theme={null}
Repeatable development test
        ↓
Automated tests using repeatable data
        ↓
Staging settings and test data confirmed
        ↓
Success and failure paths tested end to end
        ↓
Production providers, templates, privileges, and federation approved
        ↓
Credential cutover and monitored production verification
```

Do not copy test identities, test signatures, development contracts, or test wallet assumptions into production unless the accountable operator explicitly documents a supported migration.

## Get operator-specific requirements

Neuro does not currently provide one production checklist that applies to every operator and capability. Use this checklist with the operator of the production Neuron.
