Deploy

Deploy Steps

For dev

1. Push current develop branch to GitHub (triggers Render auto-deploy):

   git push origin develop
   

2. Tell user: "Pushed to develop. Render will auto-deploy. Check logs with the Render MCP."
3. Optionally use Render MCP to tail logs: "Show me logs from doctorcode-dev"

For prod

1. Push current main branch:

   git push origin main
   

2. Tell user: "Pushed to main. Render will auto-deploy to production."
3. Optionally use Render MCP to monitor deployment status

Post-deploy

1. Update TODO.md — mark the relevant deploy task ✅
2. Remind user to smoke-test the live URL:
   • dev: dev.doctorcode.app
   • prod: doctorcode.app

Safety Rules

• Never run prisma migrate deploy automatically — remind user to do this manually if migrations are pending
• Never force-push to main or develop
• Always confirm before prod deploy
