Explanation
- Blue/Green Deployment: In a blue/green deployment, you maintain two separate environments, one (blue) with the current version of your application in production and another (green) with the new version. You switch traffic from the blue environment to the green environment once testing - Canary Testing: Canary testing involves gradually rolling out a new version of the application to a small subset of users or traffic. This allows for real production traffic testing with minimal impact, and if issues are detected, the deployment can be rolled back quickly.
