In this lesson, we're going to learn how to deploy a new application version to the unsuspecting hands of some defenseless users and see if they survive. I mean, see if they like it. It's called the Canary Deployment Strategy. It's named rather appropriately after the old practice of using canaries in coal mines to detect dangerous carbon monoxide before it had a chance to harm the coal miners. Unfortunately, some canaries didn't make it, but it was definitely an effective way to test and detect problems in mine shafts before going too deep. Today, we can implement the Canary deployment strategy as a way to crowdsource our testing and detect problems before deploying too much and risk bothering too many users. After pausing for a moment to consider the problems we wanna solve, we'll take a look at the strategy…
