#Deployment

There are several ways to ship a new version without downtime. This post covers how rolling updates, blue-green, and canary deployments work, their trade-offs, and basic Kubernetes implementations.

Separating deployment from release means you can roll back anything, anytime. A comparison of LaunchDarkly and Unleash, how to integrate their SDKs in React/Next.js, and how to keep flag debt under control.

Manual builds and deploys led to shipping bugs to production. GitHub Actions automated my pipeline and eliminated human error.

I've deployed on all three platforms. Each has clear strengths in pricing, speed, and features. Here's how to choose for your project.

Works locally, fails on deploy? Learn the difference between Node.js and Edge Runtime. Fix import errors and configure Import Maps correctly.

I tried to save money by deploying to AWS S3 instead of Vercel, but ended up with a broken site. I share the three nightmares of Static Export (Image Optimization, API Routes, Dynamic Routing) and how to fix them.

Stop fearing Friday deploys. Feature Flags (or Toggles) allow you to push code to production while keeping it dormant. We explore the 4 categories of flags, how they enable Trunk-Based Development, the power of Canary Releases, and the critical importance of cleaning up stale flags to prevent technical debt.

Why is it called 'Canary'? How does it differ from Rolling and Blue/Green deployments? We explore the strategy of releasing to a small subset (1%) of users first to detect issues before they impact everyone. Includes details on Metrics, Tools, and advanced strategies.

Deployed your React app and getting 404 on refresh? Here's why Client-Side Routing breaks on static servers and how to fix it using Nginx, AWS S3, Apache, and Netlify redirects. Includes a debugging guide.

How to deploy without shutting down servers. Differences between Rolling, Canary, and Blue-Green. Deep dive into Database Rollback strategies, Online Schema Changes, AWS CodeDeploy integration, and Feature Toggles.
