Deployment patterns

Classical deployment pattern

Dev -> Test -> Staging -> Production

In a classical development and deployment environment, (monolithic) software moves in stages between environments culminating in a "feature release" like a dump truck delivering a load of dirt.

Modern deployment patterns

In a Continuous Delivery environment, where testing is encouraged in "Production", changes are not delivered in a "big bang". It's possible to deploy features without exposing them to all users.

For example:

  •    Blue-green deployments
  •    Canary releases
  •    Dark launching
  •    A/B testing
  •    Progressive exposure or ring-based deployment
  •    Feature toggles
