Platform Deployment Strategies: CI/CD and DevOps Practices

Modern platforms require safe, frequent releases without disrupting users. PADISO implements CI/CD and progressive delivery for mid-to-large organizations in Australia and the US.

Core strategies

• Blue/green for instant cutovers and rapid rollback
• Canary to limit blast radius during rollouts
• Rolling updates for steady capacity and zero downtime

Enablers

• Immutable artifacts and declarative config
• Git-based workflows with trunk or short-lived branches
• Automated testing gates and policy checks

Observability and rollback

• Health probes, SLO monitoring, and auto-revert
• Feature flags for instant off switches

Toolchain examples

• GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps → container registry → Kubernetes/Functions

FAQs

Which strategy should we start with? Blue/green for simplicity; add canary for higher safety at scale.
