Blue-green deployment is an application deployment technique that reduces downtime and risk in software development and deployment by running two identical production environments, traditionally named Blue and Green. It’s a model worth considering for developers and administrators who are concerned about uptime in a frequently iterating code environment.

Launching new applications or major updates can be a daunting task. Even with extensive testing, errors can still arise after deployment. Blue-green deployment offers an easy way to avoid errors, or quickly address them.
