Canary deployment is a technique to reduce the risk of introducing a new software version in production by rolling out the change to a small subset of users for a short period before making it available to everybody. Canary acts as an early indicator for failures for avoiding problematic deployments and having a full impact on all customers at once. If one canary deployment fails, the rest of your servers aren’t affected, and you can terminate the canary and triage the problems.
