# Going to production

> Checklist for launching a onlyfanskit integration with real creators and traffic.

Use this checklist before you point production creators at your app.

## Environments

<Steps>
  <Step title="Separate API keys">
    Create distinct keys (and webhook endpoints) for staging and production.
    Scope staging keys narrowly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Validate connect flows">
    Exercise every connect path you support — [embedded](/connect/embed),
    [login](/connect/login), and [mobile](/connect/mobile) — against a test
    account in staging.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Smoke-test core actions">
    Run the guides you depend on: at minimum one read and one write per domain
    (messages, fans, content, or earnings).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Realtime

* Register [webhooks](/realtime/webhooks) or subscribe to
  [SSE](/realtime/server-sent-events) in staging first; confirm signature
  verification and idempotent handlers.
* Plan reconnect behavior for [WebSocket](/realtime/websocket) clients.

## Reliability

* Implement backoff on `429` using `Retry-After` — see
  [Rate limiting](/platform/rate-limiting).
* Parse [RFC 9457 errors](/platform/errors); branch on `retryable` and
  stable `code` values for agent automation.
* Monitor error rates and quota headers; alert before hard limits block users.

## Security

* Complete the [Security](/platform/security) practices: no keys in clients,
  no credential logging, least-privilege scopes.

## Launch

* Roll out to a small cohort of creators before full traffic.
* Keep a runbook for reconnecting accounts when sessions expire.
* Document which [surface](/introduction/surfaces) each team owns (SDK vs
  hosted REST vs MCP).
