Guidance and recipes for zero-downtime production deployments: blue-green, canary, rolling updates, rollback checks, and DB migration coordination.
Practical guidance for planning and executing production deployments with minimal downtime. Covers strategy comparisons (recreate, rolling, blue-green, canary), blue-green switch patterns, canary rollout steps (including Argo Rollouts), rolling update configurations, and database migration coordination using the expand-contract pattern. Includes checklists and rollback procedures.
Use when you need a proven deployment approach for a service release where uptime and safe rollback are important — for example, releasing a new backend version, performing schema migrations, or improving deployment automation. Trigger on mentions of blue-green, canary deployment, rolling update, zero-downtime, rollback, or deploy pipeline.
Best suited to developer-focused agents and tooling that can read and apply scripts and YAML: Claude Code, Copilot-style assistants, and CLI-capable agents that automate deployment steps.
