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.
