Curious to know how many people do zero-downtime deployment of backend code and how many people regularly take their service down, even if very briefly, to roll out new code.
Zero-downtime deployment is valuable in some applications and a complete waste of effort in others, of course, but that doesn’t mean people do it when they should and skip it when it’s not useful.
Do not
There are deployment methodologies that exists to avoid downtime which I posted about in devops@programming.dev
Thanks for the content idea :)
TL;DR;
Rolling Deployment
Canary Deployment
Blue-Green Deployment
A/B Deployment
