Agent Skills: Gamma Production Checklist

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,  # 30000: 30 seconds in ms
  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 });  # HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
  }
});

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,  # 30000: 30 seconds in ms
    errorThresholdPercentage: 50,
    resetTimeout: 30000,  # 30 seconds in ms
  }
);

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
set -euo pipefail
# 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" \  # HTTP 200 OK
  && echo "OK: API connection" \
  || echo "FAIL: API connection"

echo "Verification complete"
