Blue-Green Deploy Basics

Swap environments safely

Blue-green deployment keeps two prod environments; new code goes to green, tested with smoke checks, then traffic flips, keeping blue for instant rollback if issues appear.

Prepare

Keep blue/live and green/idle in sync; deploy to green.

Validate

Run smoke/health checks on green before cutover.

Cut and Watch

Shift traffic; monitor; roll back to blue if needed.
