Blue-Green Deployment Cutover: Reducing Release Risk by Switching Traffic Between Two Identical Environments



Releasing new software versions is risky because changes interact with real traffic, real data, and unpredictable user behaviour. Even a well-tested build can fail due to configuration differences, missed edge cases, or hidden dependencies. Blue-green deployment is a practical strategy to reduce this risk. It uses two identical environments, one serving production traffic (Blue) and […]
