Best Practices for Production Release:

A. Disable unnecessary stage logging: This is a best practice to reduce data storage and improve performance.

C. Alerting Mechanism: Including an alerting mechanism helps notify Process Controllers of critical issues, which is crucial for maintaining process health and quick issue resolution.

D. Zero Validation Errors: Ensuring there are no validation errors before deployment helps avoid runtime failures.

Handling Business Exceptions:

Using retry loops to handle business exceptions for work queue items is not recommended as it can lead to unnecessary retries and may not address the underlying issue causing the exception. Instead, business exceptions should be handled by sending them to an exception queue for further analysis and resolution.
