What is blue-green deployment?
Blue-green deployment: A release approach that keeps two identical environments: blue serves users while green receives the new version. After testing green, traffic is switched over at once, and switching back to blue gives an instant rollback path.
Blue-green deployment: an example
A team deploys a new model API to the idle green environment, verifies it, and flips the load balancer so all users hit green.
