Silent Deploy

Definitions

1. A deployment designed to minimize external visibility and user disruption, often by releasing infrastructure, code paths, or toggled-off features before public announcement. Teams use silent deploys to reduce launch risk and validate behavior gradually.

   In plain English: A low-profile release intended to reduce attention and risk before a visible launch.

   Example: "We did a silent deploy of the billing backend on Monday and only exposed the UI on Thursday."
