“How should I think about infra/smoke testing?”

Why This Matches Ryva ICP

It signals pre-release uncertainty where teams ship fast but do not share one minimal reliability contract.

Underlying Problem

No explicit smoke-test ownership and no agreed pass/fail gate before deploy means confidence is subjective and regressions leak.

Good question. A practical pattern is a tiny "deploy confidence" checklist: critical path smoke test, owner, and rollback trigger. Keep it short, run it every release, and tie failures to one accountable person. That gives speed without blind risk.

Before production deploys, do you have one named owner for smoke-test signoff each cycle?
