Blue-green deployment is a strategy that uses two production environments where traffic is directed to one of these environments once changes are ready.

C
Canary deployment, or canary release, is a deployment strategy that reduces risk by releasing software for testing on a small subset of users.
A CI/CD pipeline is a series of steps which automates the software delivery process allowing releases to be delivered rapidly and efficiently.
Continuous Delivery is a software development practice that enables code changes to be released to end-users at any time.
Continuous deployment is a strategy of software release where every change is released to production automatically without human intervention.
A software development practice where developers continuously integrate their changes into the trunk resulting in more stable product releases.
D
Dark launch is a software release technique that involves turning on features for a subset of users using feature flags to gather feedback and improve releases.
A DevOps engineer is an IT professional who oversees the release of new code and facilitates collaboration between development and operation teams for increased productivity.
F
Feature branching allows developers to collaborate effectively around a central mainline by keeping any changes to a feature in a separate branch.
Software development tool whose purpose is to turn certain functionalities on and off in order to safely test new features without changing code.
Feature testing is a software development process that allows you to test several variations of a feature to validate new releases and to determine the one with the best positive impact.
Feature toggles, also known as feature flags, is a technique that allows specific features to be switched on or off quickly and safely for testing purposes.
K
A kill switch is a button used to disable features, such as turning off a faulty feature during production, usually implemented through a feature flag.
P
Progressive delivery is a software development technique where features are gradually rolled out to users to minimize risk of testing in production.
R
Remote config is a mobile app development technique where the behavior or features of an app can be changed remotely without releasing an app update.
Ring deployment is a technique to gradually introduce new features to different groups of users to limit impact or blast radius on end-users.
S
Server-side testing refers to any type of testing that occur directly on the web server instead of in the user’s browser.
T
Trunk-based development is a practice in which developers divide their work into small batches and later merge their work into a shared trunk or mainline at least once daily.
