The 90‑Minute Blueprint

  1. Draw the flow (whiteboard → states)
  2. Define contracts (inputs/outputs/errors)
  3. Add guardrails (limits, retries, timeouts)
  4. Instrument (traces, events, red/green metrics)
  5. Ship a canary (subset of traffic)
  6. Review failures weekly (blameless, action items)

Checkpoints

  • State machine has fewer than 12 states
  • Every external call is idempotent
  • One source of truth for shared schemas
