5 Ways to Deploy Code (Without Making Your Users Mad)
Short summary
AWS Elastic Beanstalk offers five deployment strategies balancing speed against reliability. All at Once is fastest but causes downtime; Rolling updates incrementally; Rolling with Additional Batch maintains full capacity; Immutable swaps entire environments for safe rollback; Canary gradually routes traffic to new code. Choose based on app criticality and traffic tolerance.
- •Rolling with Additional Batch maintains capacity while deploying safely to production
- •Immutable deployments allow instant rollback if new code crashes without user impact
- •Canary deployments send partial traffic to new code first, catching bugs at low scale
