How do I implement canary deployment in my application?

Canary deployment is a technique where you release a new version of your application to a small subset of users before a full rollout. Would you like to know the steps involved?

Yes, what are the steps to set it up?

First, you need to set up your infrastructure to support multiple versions of your application. Then, you can route a small percentage of traffic to the new version while monitoring its performance.

How do I monitor the performance of the canary version?

You can use monitoring tools to track metrics like error rates, response times, and user feedback. If the canary version performs well, you can gradually increase the traffic to it.

What if the canary version has issues?

If issues arise, you can quickly roll back to the previous stable version without affecting all users. This minimizes risk during deployments.
