Rolling Deployment vs Recreate 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 meets 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. Here's our take.

Rolling Deployment

Rolling Deployment

Nice Pick

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

Pros

  • +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

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

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

The Verdict

Use Rolling Deployment if: You want it is particularly useful in cloud-based or containerized setups (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Recreate Deployment if: You prioritize 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 over what Rolling Deployment offers.

The Bottom Line
Rolling Deployment wins

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
