Steps

1Every PR gets a preview URL wired to ephemeral env vars
2Protect prod: deploys gated on checks, promotions explicit not accidental
3Keep secrets in platform env settings, never committed .env files
4Alias domains to immutable deployments for instant rollback
5Use tokens/CI for machine deploys; browser OAuth breaks on clock drift
6Watch function limits: cold starts, memory, execution caps per plan tier

Common Pitfalls

▲Team sharing one account instead of scoped tokens
▲Preview branches hitting production databases

4. Alias domains to immutable deployments for instant rollback
5. Use tokens/CI for machine deploys; browser OAuth breaks on clock drift
6. Watch function limits: cold starts, memory, execution caps per plan tier

## Common Pitfalls

- Team sharing one account instead of scoped tokens
- Preview branches hitting production databases
