What this skill does
Groq Production Checklist Overview Complete pre-launch checklist for deploying Groq-powered applications to production. Covers API key security, model selection, rate limit planning, fallback strategies, and monitoring setup. Work top-to-bottom: each section is a gate that must be green before the go-live verification runs. Deep code (fallback function, health-check endpoint, go-live script) lives in references/ so this file stays scannable — drill in when you reach that step. Prerequisites Staging environment tested with Groq API Groq Developer or Enterprise plan (free tier is not suitable for production) Production API key created in console.groq.com Monitoring and alerting infrastructure ready Instructions Read the target app's Groq integration and config, then walk each gate below. Tick every box; an unchecked item is a launch blocker. 1. API Key & Auth [ ] Production API key stored in secret manager (not .env files) [ ] Key is NOT shared with development or staging environments [ ] Key rotation procedure documented and tested [ ] Pre-commit hook blocks gsk pattern in code 2. Model Selection [ ] Production model chosen and tested (recommend llama-3.3-70b-versatile) [ ] Fallback model configured (llama-3.1-8b-instant) [ ] Deprecated model IDs removed (check deprecations) [ ] maxtokens set to actual expected output size (not context max) 3. Rate Limit Planning [ ] Production rate limits known (check console.groq.com/settings/limits) [ ] Estimated peak RPM < 80% of limit [ ] Estimated peak TPM < 80% of limit [ ] Exponential backoff with retry-after header implemented [ ] Request queue for burst protection (p-queue or similar) 4. …
