### AI overview

This guide explains blue-green and canary deployment strategies for replacing running software versions. It emphasizes that effective rollback depends on detecting problems with reliable metrics and that database schema changes can limit reversibility.

### Source excerpt

Both strategies buy you the same thing, which is a cheap way to be wrong. The mechanism is the easy part, and the two hard parts are noticing you are wrong and dealing with the database.

### AI overview

Apollo released enhanced GraphOS Platform APIs to support immutable blue-green and canary deployment workflows for supergraph schemas. The updates include mutations and queries for publishing subgraphs, polling launch status, and fetching supergraph SDL, while supporting consolidated metrics, insights, and launch history for deployment stages.

### Source excerpt

As platforms, teams, and products evolve, we sometimes need new or different ways to deploy our APIs. Strong Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices and recovery strategies are necessary components of any Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
