Canary Deploy
Release to a small slice first
A rollout strategy that sends a new version to a small percentage of traffic first, watches errors, then widens. Limits blast radius compared with an all-at-once deploy.
Concrete example
Send 5% of users to the new build; roll forward only if error rates stay flat.
Why it matters
Safer shipping when a full cutover is too risky.
