Maintenance and Updates › Building a Maintenance Schedule

Rather than reacting to problems, build a regular maintenance schedule. This ensures important tasks don't get forgotten.

Here's a sample schedule:

Daily:

• Check monitoring dashboard for alerts
• Review error logs for new issues
• Verify backups completed successfully

Weekly:

• Review user feedback
• Check for security advisories
• Review cost trends

Monthly:

• Update dependencies
• Review and update documentation
• Analyze usage patterns and plan optimizations
• Review test coverage and add tests for new scenarios

Quarterly:

• Review overall system architecture
• Plan major updates or new features
• Conduct security audit
• Review and update disaster recovery plans

This schedule ensures you're staying ahead of issues rather than constantly firefighting.
