Dark Launch vs Rolling Deployment
Developers should use Dark Launch when deploying high-risk features, conducting large-scale system changes, or implementing gradual rollouts to minimize disruption and ensure stability meets developers should use rolling deployment in production environments where high availability is critical, such as for web applications, apis, or microservices that cannot afford extended outages. Here's our take.

Dark Launch
Nice PickDevelopers should use Dark Launch when deploying high-risk features, conducting large-scale system changes, or implementing gradual rollouts to minimize disruption and ensure stability
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in continuous delivery pipelines, microservices architectures, and user-facing applications where reliability is critical, as it allows for safe experimentation and reduces the blast radius of potential failures
- +Related to: feature-flags, continuous-deployment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Rolling Deployment
Developers should use rolling deployment in production environments where high availability is critical, such as for web applications, APIs, or microservices that cannot afford extended outages

- +It is particularly useful in cloud-based or containerized setups (e
- +Related to: continuous-deployment, blue-green-deployment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Dark Launch if: You want it is particularly valuable in continuous delivery pipelines, microservices architectures, and user-facing applications where reliability is critical, as it allows for safe experimentation and reduces the blast radius of potential failures and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Rolling Deployment if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in cloud-based or containerized setups (e over what Dark Launch offers.
