Swap traffic safely

Blue-green deployments deploy new versions to an idle environment, validate, then shift traffic, keeping rollback simple by flipping back.

Prepare

Deploy new version to the idle environment and run smoke tests.

Cut Over

Shift traffic gradually or at once; monitor key metrics.

Roll Back

If issues arise, switch traffic back quickly and investigate.
