Rolling Deployments vs Canary Deployment
Developers should use rolling deployments when they need to ensure high availability and reduce the impact of failures during updates, such as in production environments for web services or microservices 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.
Rolling Deployments
Developers should use rolling deployments when they need to ensure high availability and reduce the impact of failures during updates, such as in production environments for web services or microservices
Rolling Deployments
Nice PickDevelopers should use rolling deployments when they need to ensure high availability and reduce the impact of failures during updates, such as in production environments for web services or microservices
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for applications with multiple instances, as it enables seamless updates without disrupting user experience, and it's a key practice in DevOps and continuous deployment pipelines
- +Related to: continuous-deployment, blue-green-deployment
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 Rolling Deployments if: You want it is particularly useful for applications with multiple instances, as it enables seamless updates without disrupting user experience, and it's a key practice in devops and continuous deployment pipelines 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 Rolling Deployments offers.
