[Extension] 21. Deploy scheduled services

[code259]

Goal

Run the collector and report service in a small cloud environment with automated schedules.

Why this matters

Deployment tests assumptions about configuration, process management, persistence, and recovery.

Work

• Choose and document one simple deployment target.
• Keep secrets in the platform secret store.
• Run collection on a schedule without unsafe overlap.
• Persist the database or use a documented managed store.
• Add external liveness monitoring and a rollback path.

Done when

The service has a reachable protected interface, scheduled collection, and documented rollback.

Priority: Optional — cut before local reliability.
