YugabyteDB Production Checklist

Transactions are wrapped in a retry loop handling SQLSTATE 40001 with backoff.

Isolation level is chosen deliberately per workload, and write skew exposure under snapshot isolation is understood.

Transactions are kept to a single tablet where the model allows.

Reads that tolerate staleness use follower reads with an explicit staleness bound.

Connection pools are bounded, and the driver connects through a load balancer or uses cluster-aware balancing.
