Software deployment involves more than simply pressing the “release” button; it also involves making sure updates are delivered to users in a safe, effective, and disruptive manner.
Different deployment strategies play a crucial role in minimizing downtime, catching issues early, ensuring rollback safety, and balancing stability with innovation.
Common deployment strategies include Big Bang Deployment, Blue-Green Deployment, Rolling Deployment, Canary Deployment, Feature Flags, and Shadow Deployment.
Companies like Netflix, Facebook, Google, AWS, and Spotify use different deployment strategies to ensure smooth updates, stability, and minimize risk.
