How do I implement rolling deployments?

What are rolling deployments and why should I use them?

Rolling deployments are a strategy for updating applications gradually, minimizing downtime and risk. They allow you to deploy updates to a small subset of users before a full rollout.

How do I set up a rolling deployment in my application?

To set up a rolling deployment, you can use tools like Kubernetes or AWS CodeDeploy. You'll need to configure your deployment strategy to gradually replace instances with the new version.

What are the benefits of using rolling deployments over other methods?

The benefits include reduced downtime, easier rollback in case of issues, and the ability to monitor the new version's performance before full deployment.

Can you give me an example of a rolling deployment process?

Sure! For example, you might start by updating 10% of your servers with the new version, monitor for issues, and if all goes well, gradually increase to 100%.
