Post-Deploy Hook

Definitions

1. A script or automation step that executes automatically after a deployment completes, typically used for tasks like cache invalidation, database migrations, notification dispatch, or smoke test execution.

   In plain English: An automatic action that runs right after new software is released, like sending a notification or verifying everything still works.

   Example: "The post-deploy hook runs our smoke tests and pings Slack — if anything fails, it auto-rolls back."
