Example Concept: In a blue-green deployment, two identical environments (blue and green) are used, with one serving live traffic while the other is idle. During deployment, the new version is released to the idle environment, and after testing, traffic is switched to it, minimizing downtime. In contrast, canary deployments involve releasing the new version to a small, controlled group of users first, monitoring for issues, and then gradually increasing the user base until the deployment is complete, allowing for real-time feedback and risk mitigation.
