Staged Rollout

Definitions

1. A deployment strategy that gradually increases the percentage of users or servers receiving a new version — typically progressing through stages like 1%, 5%, 25%, 50%, 100% — while monitoring error rates and performance metrics at each stage, with the ability to halt or roll back if anomalies are detected.

   In plain English: Releasing a new version slowly to more and more users over time, so you can catch problems before everyone is affected.

   Example: "We staged the rollout at 5% for 24 hours, watched the error dashboard, then bumped to 25% once latency looked clean."
