Faster or Reliably?

Seamless deployment is essential to keep up the competition. But this process requires extra effort. Environments which manage 100+ deployments per day heavily use Canary releases technique. You should try and test your product from the very start to see how it fails. By doing this you minimize the negative impact on a broader scope of users and therefore the last mile of your continuous deployment becomes more reliable.

PROBLEM

Rolling-out a new feature always comes with the hassle. Infrastructure capacity may not be enough to handle the update. The feature itself might not perform smoothly or the update might not be relevant to the users. It ultimately results in frequent product downtimes and dissatisfied end users.

SOLUTION

Canary releases allows organizations to eliminate the risk of product downtime while introducing new software versions. Instead of rolling-out a product update to the entire user base it is first revealed to a smaller subset of users. That way, the new software can be tested and fixed prior to making it available to everybody.

How it Works

Tools we Use

Deliverables

  • Metrics system developed to reflect main KPIs we target: Cost of production incident, Cost of innovation, Speed of innovation
  • Continuous delivery pipeline developed or updated to include Canary stage
  • Continuous monitoring developed or updated to support personalised tight feedback loop for every change in production
  • Infrastructure upgraded to support isolation of different versions of system to work together
  • UI dashboard and control pane for developers and devops team to manage end-to-end process of Canary releases
  • Data model re-architecture to support immutability of schema changes and data updates
