Canary Deployment

Domain: MLOps

🎯 Motivation

Releasing a new model to a small percentage of users first. If no problems, gradually increase to 100%.

📋 Concrete Example

Canary: new model to 5% of users. Monitor for 24 hours: no errors, good feedback. Increase to 25%, then 50%, then 100%. Safe rollout.

🔗 Analogy

Testing a new dish at a restaurant - offer it as a special to a few customers first. If they like it, put it on the full menu. Canary deployment tests new models safely.
