Key takeaways and best practices
- [Instructor] Here's a few best practices that I recommend you follow for your deployment strategy. If possible, use blue/green deployments since they give you the fastest rollback time when things go wrong. Consider canary deployments to test features with a small subset of your total users to reduce your overall deployment risk. Use an automated CI/CD process to deploy, build, and configure your container images. I encourage automation, but never use it to deploy directly to production. It's just too risky to deploy untested code to a live environment. Be sure to never include credentials or API keys in your CI/CD pipeline. Use a credential management tool, such as AWS Parameter Store. And finally, be sure to deploy the same production version to a test environment where your quality assurance team can perform their jobs without affecting your live statistics.
