Software Deployment Strategies

Software deployment strategies refer to the various methods used to release software applications to users. Common strategies include "big bang," where all updates are rolled out at once, and "phased" deployment, where updates are gradually introduced to a small group before wider release. Another approach is "canary releases," where a new version is tested with a select user group to identify issues before full deployment. Additionally, "blue-green" deployments involve two identical environments, allowing quick switching between the old and new versions. These strategies help manage risks, ensure smooth transitions, and maintain system stability during updates.
