Rolling Deployment

In plain terms

Updating instances gradually to avoid downtime.

Going deeper

A rolling deployment replaces old app instances with new ones incrementally, keeping the service available throughout. It updates a few at a time.

Under the hood

Limits blast radius and avoids full downtime; rollback can be slower than blue-green.

Examples

Kubernetes rolling updates, zero-downtime deploys, gradual instance replacement.

Think of it like...

Like repaving a road one lane at a time so traffic keeps flowing.
