Main issue
Teams enabling automation before protecting admin surfaces
Human read
Start manual, then add guarded automation with clear ownership.
What to change
- Protect /admin routes with Cloudflare Access.
- Connect analytics and request-log ingestion for traffic split metrics.
- Keep deployment behind publish gates until review loops stabilize.
Hidden failure mode: Public admin endpoints with no identity controls.
Noise check: Auto-publishing before governance maturity creates avoidable trust risk.
The playbook
- Owner: Platform and operations
- Effort: One sprint
- Expected outcome: Safer control-plane operations with better observability.
