🚀 Exploring Deployment Strategies in Software Development 🚀
✨ Deployment strategies refer to the various approaches and methodologies used to release/deploy/update software applications.
In the dynamic landscape of software development, deploying updates efficiently and reliably is crucial.
Here's a breakdown of some key deployment strategies:
1.Canary Deployment: Safely test new features or updates by gradually rolling them out to a subset of users or servers, monitoring their performance before wider release.
2.Blue-Green Deployment: Two identical production environments Blue(Active), Green(Inactive), Update done on Green and traffic is routed. Now Blue server will have stable version(old).So if new deployment faces issue, easy switch to Blue server.
3.Rolling Deployment: Ensure availability and reliability by incrementally(one at a time) updating servers with new versions while maintaining service on unaffected servers.(default in K8s)
4.Recreate Deployment: This is the simplest strategy. It involves stopping all instances of the running application and then starting new instances with the updated code.(Can be used in K8s)
5.A/B Testing: Deploying multiple versions of an application to different groups of users simultaneously, to compare their performance or user experience.
6.Shadow Deployment: New version of the application is deployed alongside the existing version but doesn't handle real traffic. Allows testing and validation without impacting production users.
The choice of deployment strategy depends on factors such as the application's requirements, team capabilities, and organizational goals.
Understanding deployment strategies is crucial for Efficient Software Delivery, Minimize Downtime, Risk Mitigation, User Experience, Better Resource Utilization.
