🗺️Ch 1 The lay of the land

Our backend is a Next.js monorepo with a Postgres database, Redis for caching, and a Cloudflare-fronted CDN. Every commit goes through a review and lands behind feature flags. Click any chapter to expand it — you'll see your progress fill the bar above.

🛠️Ch 2 Local development

Run pnpm dev from the repo root. Database migrations are managed by Drizzle — apply them with pnpm db:migrate. Hot reload covers everything except service-worker changes.

Ch 3 Shipping a change

Open a draft PR early. Run the test suite locally first; CI is for confidence, not feedback. Two approvals to merge. Deploys go out automatically every 30 minutes — your change will be live in production within an hour of merge.

🔮Ch 4 When things break

PagerDuty rota is in the on-call doc. For a real incident, declare it in #incident with one sentence: what's broken, who's affected, what you're doing. Drag in help liberally.
