Release maturity
Current Stage
Spooky is currently in Beta.
Beta means: - Core proxying, routing, load balancing, and health-check features are implemented and actively validated. - Controlled production rollout is supported with strict observability, staged traffic, and rollback plans. - The project remains pre-GA; operational hardening and long-duration validation are still in progress.
Environment Guidance
- Development: Fully supported.
- Staging: Fully supported.
- Production: Supported for controlled rollout and bounded blast radius deployments.
Not Yet GA
The following categories remain required for GA promotion: - Extended soak validation under sustained production-like load. - Broader failure-mode validation and runbook hardening. - Continued performance and allocation optimization for high-scale routing paths. - Stability window with no critical regressions across release cycles.
Operator Expectations In Beta
- Roll out gradually (canary or segmented traffic).
- Enforce SLO-based alerting before increasing traffic share.
- Keep rollback paths tested and immediately available.
- Revisit release notes and roadmap on each upgrade.
