Operations
This section covers runtime behavior after the gateway is serving traffic: plugins, diagnostics, failure modes, tests, load tests, and deployment constraints.
🧪 Use this section when operating or verifying the gateway. It focuses on plugin hooks, observability, failure boundaries, load testing, and deployment assumptions.
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 🧩 Plugins And Policy | Where request and response plugins fit, and why body access changes the runtime model. |
| 📈 Telemetry And Diagnostics | Signals needed to debug authentication, config lookup, routing, upstream calls, and merged results. |
| 🚧 Failure Modes | Expected failures by boundary, including auth, Redis, virtual hosts, backend sessions, and upstream transport. |
| 🧪 Testing | Workspace checks, in-repo integration tests, and the cf-integration full-stack test lanes. |
| ⚡ Performance | Dataplane-only load testing, full-stack Locust runs, headless versus web UI, and benchmark settings. |
| 🏗️ Deployment Notes | Front-door routing, GitHub Pages publication, session affinity, and cluster constraints. |
