Production checklist

In the previous section, you learned how to use automated tasks to keep your GeoServer stack backed up, in sync, and stable. In this section, we'll review a final checklist for putting your app into production. The checklist that we'll review is based on what you've learned in this book. First, we'll cover a common reference updates and authentication-related configuration. Next, we'll go over communication methods with the help of ports and protocols that must be locked down to only permit appropriate access. We'll review automated maintenance tasks. Finally, we'll revisit tuning the server for performance.
