Recreate Deployment vs Blue Green Deployment
Developers should use Recreate Deployment when the application can tolerate downtime, such as during maintenance windows or for non-critical internal tools, or when the application architecture does not support running multiple versions simultaneously meets developers should use blue green deployment when they need to minimize downtime and risk during software releases, especially for critical applications like e-commerce sites or financial services. Here's our take.
Recreate Deployment
Developers should use Recreate Deployment when the application can tolerate downtime, such as during maintenance windows or for non-critical internal tools, or when the application architecture does not support running multiple versions simultaneously
Recreate Deployment
Nice PickDevelopers should use Recreate Deployment when the application can tolerate downtime, such as during maintenance windows or for non-critical internal tools, or when the application architecture does not support running multiple versions simultaneously
Pros
- +It is also suitable for simple applications with minimal dependencies, where the risk of failure is low and a quick rollback to the previous version is feasible if issues arise
- +Related to: kubernetes-deployments, ci-cd-pipelines
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Blue Green Deployment
Developers should use Blue Green Deployment when they need to minimize downtime and risk during software releases, especially for critical applications like e-commerce sites or financial services
Pros
- +It's ideal for continuous delivery pipelines, enabling safe testing of new versions in a production-like setting before cutting over traffic, and providing an instant fallback if issues arise
- +Related to: continuous-deployment, canary-deployment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Recreate Deployment if: You want it is also suitable for simple applications with minimal dependencies, where the risk of failure is low and a quick rollback to the previous version is feasible if issues arise and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Blue Green Deployment if: You prioritize it's ideal for continuous delivery pipelines, enabling safe testing of new versions in a production-like setting before cutting over traffic, and providing an instant fallback if issues arise over what Recreate Deployment offers.
Developers should use Recreate Deployment when the application can tolerate downtime, such as during maintenance windows or for non-critical internal tools, or when the application architecture does not support running multiple versions simultaneously
