Canary Deployment
Canary deployment is a software development method that releases updates in stages. Teams first deploy changes to a small group of users, allowing them to test and validate the update. Developers monitor feedback and system performance during this phase to identify any issues. The update is gradually deployed to all users if the changes are successful. This approach reduces risk by catching potential problems early and ensures a smoother experience for the entire user base. Canary deployments are typical in industries like cloud services and e-commerce, where maintaining reliability is critical.
