Hi;

Hooked up the site on Git hub and got it working with Forge sweet. Emails are set up with Google business. Databases are created in mysql and manage them via Sequel Pro.

Everything is working.

Since I am not a system admin guy, I was wondering what are the critical maintenance steps I should set up. What are the potential system crashes or threats that I should be aware of?

Thanks

I would suggest doing a few things, one of the most important, backups.

Backups of users uploaded data and data in the database are critcal..

You could also hook into a bug reporting service like Bugsnag or GetSentry GetSentry can also be hosted on your own server, see it here on Github

Other things could be setting up a load balancer so you're not reliant on one server and things like that, seperate application / database servers. Lots you can do.
