Rolling Deployments vs Recreate 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 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 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
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 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 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 Deployments offers.
