Before You Write Production Code: A Pre-Development Infrastructure Checklist for Web Projects

A pre-development checklist covers the infrastructure decisions that surround an application before code is written: domain registration and ownership, DNS architecture, environment naming, secrets and configuration separation, hosting selection based on runtime needs, HTTPS as a default assumption, email DNS records, staging protection, third-party callback URL planning, and documenting ownership and rollback procedures. It recommends sequencing domain and DNS decisions before application development, and includes a comparison of domain registrars (Dynadot, Namecheap, Cloudflare Registrar) along with a practical checklist of questions teams should be able to answer before a project accumulates production dependencies.
