Recreate Deployment vs Canary 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 canary deployment when releasing updates to production environments, especially for critical applications where downtime or bugs could have significant business impact. 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
Canary Deployment
Developers should use canary deployment when releasing updates to production environments, especially for critical applications where downtime or bugs could have significant business impact
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for continuous delivery pipelines, A/B testing new features, and ensuring stability in microservices architectures, as it reduces the blast radius of failures and allows for quick rollbacks if issues arise
- +Related to: continuous-deployment, blue-green-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 Canary Deployment if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for continuous delivery pipelines, a/b testing new features, and ensuring stability in microservices architectures, as it reduces the blast radius of failures and allows for quick rollbacks if issues arise over what Recreate Deployment offers.
