22.1. Deployment & Operations Overview

The Deployment & Operations section defines the processes, procedures, and best practices for delivering the CMD Pro plugin to end-users and operating it in production environments. While the Release Strategy focuses on the what and when of releases, this section focuses on the how—the technical execution of deployment, ongoing operations, maintenance, and recovery.

22.2. Deployment Principles

Principle	Description
Automation First	All deployment processes should be automated to minimize human error and ensure consistency.
Zero Downtime	Deployments should not cause downtime for end-users (where possible).
Rollback Capability	Every deployment must have a documented and tested rollback procedure.
Phased Rollout	Deployments should be phased to minimize risk and allow for early detection of issues.
Monitoring & Observability	All deployments must be monitored for errors, performance degradation, and user impact.
Security by Default	All deployment processes must follow security best practices.
Documentation	All deployment and operational procedures must be documented and kept up to date.

22.3. Installation

22.3.1. Installation Methods

Method	Description	Target Audience	Status
CMD Pro ZIP Package	Upload the licensed plugin ZIP through WordPress Admin.	All users	Primary (current)
Manual ZIP Upload	Advanced: upload ZIP via plugin uploader.	Advanced users	Supported
WordPress Plugin Directory *	Direct installation from WordPress.org (planned).	All users	Future
Composer Installation	For managed environments (planned).	Developers, agencies	Planned
WP-CLI	Command-line installation (planned).	Developers, DevOps	Planned

Note: The WordPress Plugin Directory method will be added once a free/Lite version is published on WordPress.org. For now, the primary distribution channel is the licensed ZIP package.

22.3.2. Installation Requirements

Requirement	Minimum Compatibility	Recommended (Production)
WordPress	6.x	Current stable version
PHP	8.0+	8.2+
MySQL / MariaDB	5.7+ / 10.3+	MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.6+
Memory Limit	64 MB	128 MB+
Max Execution Time	30 sec	60 sec
HTTPS	Optional	Required for production

Minimum compatibility is based on actual testing. PHP 7.4 is end-of-life and is not supported by CMD Pro. Production environments should use PHP 8.2 or later where available.

22.3.3. Installation Process Flow

User Action: Navigate to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → select CMD Pro ZIP → Install Now.

System Action: Extract files to /wp-content/plugins/cmd-pro/, verify integrity, run activation hook, create database tables (wp_cmdp_prices, etc.), set default options, schedule cron jobs.

Verification: Dashboard displays correctly, data is fetched, charts and ticker work.

22.3.4. Installation Checklist

Check	Status
WordPress version verified (≥6.x)	☐
PHP version verified (≥8.0)	☐
Plugin ZIP uploaded/installed	☐
Plugin activated	☐
Database tables created	☐
Default options set	☐

22.4. Upgrade Process

22.4.1. Upgrade Methods

Method	Description	Status
WordPress Automatic Update	Fully automated via WordPress update system.	Planned (Enterprise)
WP-CLI Update	Command-line update using `wp plugin update`.	Planned
Composer Update	Update via Composer dependency manager.	Planned
Manual ZIP Upload	Upload new ZIP via WordPress admin (current).	Supported
WordPress Manual Update	Click “Update Now” in admin (if directory version available).	Future

Automatic updates will be supported via a licensing/update service in future Enterprise releases. Currently, upgrades are performed via manual ZIP upload.

22.4.2. Upgrade Process Flow

Pre-upgrade: User notified, system checks compatibility, database backup recommended.
Execution: Files replaced, migration scripts run, options updated, cache cleared.
Verification: Verify version, dashboard, data integrity.
Cleanup: Transients cleared, logs updated.

22.4.3. Database Migration Strategy

Roadmap note: Migration entries for future CMD Pro versions represent the planned schema evolution and may change before release.

Version	Migration	Description	Rollback
v4.0	Initial schema	Create tables: prices, history, alerts, logs, api_cache	Drop tables
v4.1	Schema update	Add metadata JSON field to prices	Remove field
v5.0	Schema update	Add indexes for performance	Remove indexes
v6.0	Schema update	Add alert_type and notification_method fields	Remove fields

Best practices: Backup first, use transactions, idempotent migrations, track version in options, test on staging.

22.5. Rollback Procedure

22.5.1. Rollback Triggers

Trigger	Priority	Action
Critical Bug (P0/P1)	P0	Immediate rollback
Security Vulnerability	P0	Immediate rollback
Data Corruption	P0	Immediate rollback
Performance Degradation	P1	Rollback within 4h
Compatibility Issue	P1	Rollback within 24h

22.5.2. Rollback Process Flow

Detection: Issue detected via monitoring or user report.
Pre-rollback: Verify previous version available, database backup ready.
Execution: Deactivate current, replace files, run database rollback, clear cache, reactivate.
Verification: Check plugin version, dashboard, data integrity.
Post-rollback: Log event, notify stakeholders, investigate root cause.

22.5.3. Rollback Time Targets

Severity	Target Rollback Time
P0 – Critical	< 15 minutes
P1 – High	< 60 minutes
P2 – Medium	< 4 hours
P3 – Low	< 24 hours

Example commands are illustrative. Production rollback procedures must use the tested CMD Pro release package and verified database backup. Do not copy commands directly without adaptation.

# WP-CLI rollback example (illustrative)
wp plugin deactivate cmd-pro
wp plugin delete cmd-pro
wp plugin install cmd-pro –version=4.0.0   # version must be available
wp plugin activate cmd-pro

22.6. Backup Strategy

Operational guidance: Backup schedules and retention periods are recommended deployment practices. Actual backup availability and retention depend on the customer’s hosting and infrastructure configuration.

22.6.1. Backup Components

Component	Frequency	Retention
Database (wp_cmdp_* tables, options)	Daily	30 days
Files (/wp-content/plugins/cmd-pro/)	Daily	30 days
Configuration (settings, API keys)	Daily	30 days
Historical Data (wp_cmdp_history)	Weekly	1 year
Logs (wp_cmdp_logs)	Monthly	90 days

22.6.2. Backup Schedule

Schedule	Components	Retention
Daily (Full)	Database, Files, Configuration	30 days
Weekly (Full)	Database, Files, Historical	1 year
Monthly (Archive)	Historical Data	3 years
On-Demand	All components	90 days

22.6.3. Backup Commands (illustrative)

# Database backup with WP-CLI (example)
wp db export cmd-pro-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql –tables=wp_cmdp_prices,wp_cmdp_history,wp_cmdp_alerts

# Files backup
tar -czf cmd-pro-files-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /wp-content/plugins/cmd-pro/

# Credentials should be supplied via environment or WP-CLI config, not hard-coded.

Security: Do not hard-code database credentials in backup scripts. Use environment variables or WP-CLI’s secure configuration.

22.6.4. Backup Verification

Restore Test: Monthly – test restore from backup.
Backup Size: Weekly – monitor for anomalies.
Completion: Daily – verify success.
Database Integrity: Monthly – run checks on restored backup.

22.7. Monitoring

22.7.1. Monitoring Categories

Category	What to Monitor	Tools
Availability	Dashboard, API, plugin uptime	Uptime monitoring
Performance	Load time, API response, cache hit rate	Frontend/backend monitoring
Errors	PHP errors, API failures, exception rate	Error tracking
Data	Data freshness, integrity, update success	Timestamp comparison, checksums
Security	Auth attempts, permission changes, suspicious activity	Security logs, alerts
Resources	Memory usage, CPU, disk I/O	Server monitoring

The summary card reflects 6 Monitoring Categories (Availability, Performance, Errors, Data, Security, Resources).

22.7.2. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
