• sdtimes.com: CI/CD pipelines are expanding 🌟 The “basic” CI/CD pipeline includes five processes, which are: merge, build, test, package and deploy. All of these are individually defined so readers have a common reference point. The basic pipeline includes sub-pipelines associated with each step, such as moving artifacts from a build into a repository.

Deployment Strategies

• blog.container-solutions.com: Deployment Strategies 🌟
  • It really depends on the needs and budget. When releasing to development/staging environments, a recreate or ramped deployment is usually a good choice. When it comes to production, a ramped or blue/green deployment is usually a good fit, but proper testing of the new platform is necessary.
  • Blue/green and shadow strategies have more impact on the budget as it requires double resource capacity. If the application lacks in tests or if there is little confidence about the impact/stability of the software, then a canary, a/b testing or shadow release can be used. If your business requires testing of a new feature amongst a specific pool of users that can be filtered depending on some parameters like geolocation, language, operating system or browser features, then you may want to use the a/b testing technique.
  • Last but not least, a shadow release is complex and requires extra work to mock egress traffic which is mandatory when calling external dependencies with mutable actions (email, bank, etc.). However, this technique can be useful when migrating to a new database technology and use shadow traffic to monitor system performance under load.
