US Patent 11099826 Canary deployment using an application delivery controller

Methods and systems for performing application deployments in a computing environment are presented herein. One or more components of the computing environment may perform a canary deployment of an updated version of an application. As the canary deployment is performed, one or more determinations as to whether to continue, stop, or complete the canary deployment may be performed. These determinations may be based on one or more metrics determined by an application delivery controller of the computing environment. The application delivery controller may be configured to divert or forward traffic to application resources that execute the updated version. Additionally, the canary deployment may be performed in an automated fashion.
