Zero-Downtime Blue-Green and IP-Based Canary Deployments on ECS Fargate
The article discusses a new deployment strategy for ECS Fargate that allows for zero-downtime blue-green and IP-based canary deployments. This method enables internal teams to validate new releases on the production URL before they are exposed to customers, avoiding the need for separate staging environments. The author shares a Terraform-driven workflow that simplifies the deployment process while ensuring immediate rollback capabilities.
- ▪The deployment strategy uses ECS Fargate and Application Load Balancer (ALB) to manage traffic.
- ▪Internal users are routed to the new version (GREEN) while public users continue to see the stable version (BLUE).
- ▪The setup eliminates the need for separate staging domains and complex rollback orchestration.
