Sudheer Amgothu . Innovative CI/CD Pipeline Optimization through Canary and Blue-Green Deployment. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 50 ( Nov 2024), 1-5. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024924141
In modern software development, managing the risks associated with new code releases is critical to maintain system stability and performance. Canary and Blue-Green deployments are two effective strategies used to achieve this balance. Canary deployments allow for incremental rollouts of new features to a small subset of users, providing real-time performance monitoring and risk mitigation before a full-scale release to the production environment while Blue-Green deployments involve maintaining two separate environments, blue and green and switching between them to ensure that new changes do not disrupt the production environment. This paper explores the methodologies behind Canary and Blue-Green deployments, their integration with Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, and the benefits, experimental set up, challenges, and future advancements of these strategies. By leveraging Jenkins to manage these deployment approaches, organizations can enhance their deployment processes, reduce the risk of disruptions, and improve overall system stability.
