Expense Operations Documentation
Summary
Expense operations cover service startup, shallow health, shared observability, dependency boundaries, outbox delivery, smoke/parity evidence, backfill, cutover, and non-destructive support escalation.
Audience
DevOps/SRE, support, developers, QA, architects, product owners, and implementation teams.
Overview
Expense operations cover service startup, dependency signals, event delivery, reconciliation, cutover, and escalation without publishing environment-specific values.
Operational posture
The service owns claims and local evidence. Workflow and Document are synchronous dependencies; Payroll and Notification consume asynchronous outcomes. Gateway routing and legacy compatibility remain Transitional.
Operational overview, configuration, startup, health, smoke, dependency pages, outbox, reconciliation, cutover, support, and checklist provide the complete map.
Safety boundary
Use service/API evidence and approved automation. Do not directly edit persistence, manually replay broker messages, expose payloads, or treat routing rollback as data rollback.
Requires confirmation
Production deployment ownership, service objectives, alerting, reconciliation ownership, retry/dead-letter governance, and final cutover approval remain unconfirmed.
