Deployment Strategy Encyclopedia
Production-grade deployment patterns for engineering teams. Detailed implementation guides, cloud provider comparisons, rollback procedures, and zero-downtime techniques -- all in one reference.
Deployment Strategies
Core patterns for shipping software to production safely.
Blue-Green Deployment
Run two identical production environments. Switch traffic instantly between them for zero-downtime releases and instant rollback.
Canary Releases
Route a small percentage of traffic to the new version. Monitor error rates and latency before full rollout.
Rolling Updates
Replace instances incrementally. Each batch is health-checked before proceeding. The default strategy in Kubernetes.
Feature Flags
Deploy code to production with features hidden behind flags. Enable gradually per user segment without redeploying.
Implementation Guides
Step-by-step procedures for common deployment challenges.
