Gamma Production Checklist

Overview

Comprehensive checklist to ensure your Gamma integration is production-ready.

Prerequisites

• •Completed development and testing
• •Staging environment validated
• •Monitoring infrastructure ready

Production Checklist

1. Authentication & Security

• • Production API key obtained (not development key)
• • API key stored in secret manager (not env file)
• • Key rotation procedure documented and tested
• • Minimum required scopes configured
• • No secrets in source code or logs

// Production client configuration
const gamma = new GammaClient({
  apiKey: await secretManager.getSecret('GAMMA_API_KEY'),
  timeout: 30000,
  retries: 3,
});

2. Error Handling

• • All API calls wrapped in try/catch
• • Exponential backoff for rate limits
• • Graceful degradation for API outages
• • User-friendly error messages
• • Error tracking integration (Sentry, etc.)

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node';

try {
  await gamma.presentations.create({ ... });
} catch (err) {
  Sentry.captureException(err, {
    tags: { service: 'gamma', operation: 'create' },
  });
  throw new UserError('Unable to create presentation. Please try again.');
}

3. Performance

• • Client instance reused (singleton pattern)
• • Connection pooling enabled
• • Appropriate timeouts configured
• • Response caching where applicable
• • Async operations for long tasks

4. Monitoring & Logging

• • Request/response logging (sanitized)
• • Latency metrics collection
• • Error rate alerting
• • Rate limit monitoring
• • Health check endpoint

// Health check
app.get('/health/gamma', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    await gamma.ping();
    res.json({ status: 'healthy', service: 'gamma' });
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(503).json({ status: 'unhealthy', error: err.message });
  }
});

5. Rate Limiting

• • Rate limit tier confirmed with Gamma
• • Request queuing implemented
• • Backoff strategy in place
• • Usage monitoring alerts
• • Burst protection enabled

6. Data Handling

• • PII handling compliant with policies
• • Data retention policies documented
• • Export data properly secured
• • User consent for AI processing
• • GDPR/CCPA compliance verified

7. Disaster Recovery

• • Fallback behavior defined
• • Circuit breaker implemented
• • Recovery procedures documented
• • Backup API key available
• • Incident response plan ready

import CircuitBreaker from 'opossum';

const breaker = new CircuitBreaker(
  (opts) => gamma.presentations.create(opts),
  {
    timeout: 30000,
    errorThresholdPercentage: 50,
    resetTimeout: 30000,
  }
);

breaker.fallback(() => ({
  error: 'Service temporarily unavailable',
  retry: true,
}));

8. Testing

• • Integration tests passing
• • Load testing completed
• • Failure scenario testing done
• • API mock for CI/CD
• • Staging environment validated

9. Documentation

• • API integration documented
• • Runbooks for common issues
• • Architecture diagrams updated
• • On-call procedures defined
• • Team trained on Gamma features

Final Verification Script

#!/bin/bash
# prod-verify.sh

echo "Gamma Production Verification"

# Check API key
if [ -z "$GAMMA_API_KEY" ]; then
  echo "FAIL: GAMMA_API_KEY not set"
  exit 1
fi

# Test connection
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GAMMA_API_KEY" \
  https://api.gamma.app/v1/ping | grep -q "200" \
  && echo "OK: API connection" \
  || echo "FAIL: API connection"

echo "Verification complete"
