🎯 Canary Deployment​

Gradual rollout to minimize risk:

  • Benefits - Risk mitigation, gradual validation
  • Use Cases - Critical systems, large user bases
  • Considerations - Complex routing and monitoring setup

🌊 Rolling Deployment​

Sequential update of application instances:

  • Benefits - Resource efficient, built-in rollback
  • Use Cases - Standard web applications, APIs
  • Considerations - Temporary version mixing during deployment

⚡ Immutable Deployment​

Complete infrastructure replacement:

  • Benefits - Consistent, predictable environments
  • Use Cases - Infrastructure as Code, cloud-native applications
  • Considerations - Longer deployment times, higher resource usage
