GKG Infra / Delivery / PREP Workstream
Tracks infrastructure, delivery, and production readiness work required to ship the GitLab Knowledge Graph (Orbit) as a GA service.
**Parent epic**: [GitLab Knowledge Graph as a Service - GA &19744](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/work_items/19744)
**Blocked by**: [Producer-only Siphon deployment](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/analytics-section/-/work_items/16) — GKG cannot run in production without Siphon streaming CDC events into NATS.
## Scope
This workstream covers everything between "the code works" and "the service is running in production with SLOs":
- Production readiness review (PREP) with infrastructure teams
- Staging and production cluster buildout on GCP/Kubernetes
- Observability: Grafana dashboards, alerting, structured logging
- Deployment strategy for both GitLab.com (SaaS) and self-managed/Dedicated
- Helm chart hardening, secret management, network policies
- Capacity planning and scaling validation
