Deployment Strategies

Deployment strategies refer to the methods used to release new software or updates to users. Common strategies include "blue-green deployment," where two identical environments run simultaneously, allowing for seamless switching between the old and new; "canary releases," which gradually introduce changes to a small group of users to monitor for issues; and "rolling updates," where updates are deployed to a few servers at a time to minimize risk. These approaches help ensure a smooth transition, reduce downtime, and provide opportunities to catch problems early without impacting all users.
