# Production checklist

> Before real people depend on your app, go through this list.

## Keys and security

* [ ] The key lives on your server, read from an environment variable or secret store. It is not in the app, the web page or the repository.
* [ ] Each app and environment has its own key, with only the scopes it uses.
* [ ] You know how to [revoke a key](https://developers.namuai-lab.com/guides/api-keys.md#revoke-a-key) and who on your team can do it.
* [ ] Your server checks your own users before calling the API on their behalf, so a stranger cannot use your server to spend your allowance.

## Reliability

* [ ] Timeouts are generous (minutes), because the first request after a quiet spell is slower.
* [ ] Network errors, `429 rate_limited` and `5xx` are retried with a growing pause; `4xx` errors are not.
* [ ] Recordings are kept until their answer arrives, so a failed upload never asks someone to speak again.
* [ ] Your logs keep the `request_id` of failed requests (and not the audio or the text).

## Cost and limits

* [ ] Audio played to many people is generated once and stored.
* [ ] You check [`/v1/usage`](https://developers.namuai-lab.com/guides/usage-and-rate-limits#check-your-usage) and know what happens in your app when `quota_exceeded` arrives.
* [ ] If you expect more than the beta allowance, you have [written to us](https://developers.namuai-lab.com/resources/support.md) before launch.

## People

* [ ] Listeners know the voice is AI-generated.
* [ ] People know their voice is sent to a service to be transcribed or translated, and agreed to it.
* [ ] Where a mistake could hurt (health, money, legal), a person checks what the model produced.
* [ ] Native speakers of your users' language listened to your app's audio and read its transcripts before launch.

See [responsible use](https://developers.namuai-lab.com/resources/responsible-use.md) for what the API may not be used for.
