1.4 Best Practices

Standards and conventions used throughout Velocity Stack development.

Template Development

Build templates on a clean Application Layer installation. Test all functionality before export. Document any manual post-deployment steps. Store exports in Version Control with semantic versioning.

Performance Testing

Measure against reference implementation (john.sisler.io) metrics. Test from multiple geographic locations. Use both lab tools and field data when available. Document baseline before and after changes.

Security Verification

Run Application Security audit after deployment. Verify Edge Network rules are active. Check file permissions match expected values. Confirm admin URL is protected.

Documentation Standards

Use vendor-agnostic terminology in Sections 1-8. Keep Section 9 updated with current vendor choices and specific configurations. Link work items to documentation pages.
