+This document details the process we use to deploy Page Shot to our stage and production environments.
+
+## Overview of schedule ##
+
+(you can read more below)
+
+- Thursday at 12pm PST the train is cut, all code is in. Style tweaks can be made after this point.
+- Friday at 9am PST we tag and start pushing to stage, then send email out.
+- Monday at regular stand-up we review anything that Softvision found and fix it.
+- Wednesday at ~8am PST we push and Softvision verifies.
+
+## Softvision ##
+
+Softvision is our embedded QA team. Their main functions are to write test plans and verify deployments.
+
+## Team Notification ##
+
+During the checkin before the end of the [current milestone](https://github.com/mozilla-services/pageshot/milestones), we will inform the team that we will be building a release against `master`.
+
+Note: we auto deploy the master branch to our *development environment*: [http://testpilot.dev.mozaws.net](https://pageshot.dev.mozaws.net)
+
+## Tag Release ##
+
+This will happen on Friday after any style tweaks land.
+
+1. https://github.com/mozilla-services/pageshot/releases/new
+2. Tag Version: YYYY-MM-DD (append -N if more than one release is tagged on a given day: 2016-04-08-1)
+3. Release Title: YYYY-MM-DD
+4. Click `Publish`
+
+Release notes are automatically extracted from git commits.
+
+## Push to Stage ##
+
+This will happen on Friday at the end of sprint.
+
+1. (FIXME put instructions for checking out the tag here)
+2. `git push mozilla-services HEAD:stable`
+2. `bin/build-docker-image mozilla`
+
+Notifications of successful deployment will appear on IRC.
+
+## Test Stage ##
+
+This will happen on Friday at the end of sprint after we've pushed to stage.
+
+Create a deployment issue to track status and potential blockers. Give it a `needs:qa` label.
+
+Send out an email notification to `testpilot-dev@mozilla.com` to please test the staging environment.
+
+Include Softvision and the issue link in the email notification.
+
+## Report Issues & Status ##
+
+Any issues should be reported in the deployment bug.
+
+If no issues are found, Softvision will note in the bug.
+
+**Page Shot team is still responsible for final approval for push to production.**
+
+On the following Monday, during our checkin, Softvision will give us an update on status of stage.
+
+## Deploy Production ##
+
+Once we are comfortable that the site has been tested, file a bugzilla bug to deploy to prod. [Example](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1312768)
+
+Notifications of successful deployment will appear on IRC.
+
+We'll target Wednesday 8AM PST for deployment.
+
+## Verify Production ##
+
+Softvision will verify production for us, and report any bugs on Wednesday.
+
+Once we have verified production, update the Page Shot GA account with an annotation including sprint information. Example: "1.0.1 release" Oct. 25th.
+
+Close deployment issue, and give it a `qa:verified` label.
+
+## Producing a Static Build ##
+
+From a fresh check-out, producing a static build can be done like so:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/pageshot.git
+cd pageshot
+npm install
+make all
+```
+
+After all the above commands, you should have a build in the `build` directory.
