We discussed the basics of canary deployment In the blog “What is Canary Deployment?“. It is one of the most widely used strategies because it lowers the risk of moving updates into production, while simultaneously reducing the need for additional infrastructure. Today, many applications run in a dynamic environment of microservices, which makes the software integration and delivery process complex. The only way to successfully deploy updates consistently is to use solid automation with tools like Spinnaker.
