Canary release is a deployment strategy you can use to minimize the impact of new features or updates on your application.
Instead of deploying changes to the entire user base at once, a small subset of users are selected to receive the update. This enables you to observe and monitor the behavior of the new features in production, ensuring that they perform as expected and do not cause any unexpected issues. For example, you may choose to roll out a new version of your web application to 5% of your user base before making it available to everyone.
By gradually increasing the number of users receiving the update, you can identify and address any issues that may arise, such as performance degradation or errors. This incremental approach to deployment ensures a smooth transition and allows for quick rollbacks if any problems are detected.
