How to get ahead of 99% of people at deployments

Learn these 5 patterns:

1 Big Bang:

→ Deploy on all servers at once, replacing old version.

→ Simple to set up.

→ But high risk of downtime and failures.

===

2 Rolling:

→ Slowly update servers in batches.

→ Zero downtime & reduced risk.

→ But rollbacks might become complex mid-way.

===

3 Blue Green:

→ Maintain 2 environments & switch traffic between them.

→ Instant rollback and zero downtime.

→ But it increases infrastructure costs and complexity.

===

4 Canary:

→ Deploy to a few users first, and slowly increase traffic with monitoring.

→ Reduces the failure impact.

→ But it increases complexity with advanced monitoring & traffic control.

===

5 Feature Toggle:

→ Hide new features behind conditional code logic.

→ Separate deployment from release and easy to rollback.

→ But it adds code complexity and tech debt.
