Deploy Receipts
Who/what/when/where audit trail
Medium
Overview
Immutable record of every deployment including who triggered it, what was deployed, when, and verification.
Why It Matters
Complete deployment audit log. Answer 'what changed?' during incidents.
The Risk
Without receipts, incident investigation starts with guesswork. You can't definitively answer 'what was deployed when?' Compliance audits fail. Rollback decisions are made blind.
Implementation Components
A complete implementation of this capability includes:
- Immutable record of every deployment
- Captures who, what, when, where
- Links to git commit, artifact digest, and provenance
- Stored in searchable, long-term storage
- Includes verification status (smoke tests, health checks)
- Integration with change management systems
Implementation Pattern
- 1Capture deploy metadata
- 2Link to artifact digest
- 3Store immutably
- 4Make searchable
