Canary Release
📖 Definition
Canary Release is a gradual release strategy that deploys new versions to a small subset of users first, then gradually expands the scope after observing the running status. It reduces release risks and supports quick rollback.
🔗 How Higress Uses This
Higress supports multi-dimensional canary routing based on headers, cookies, weights, etc., enabling end-to-end canary releases. AI scenarios support multi-model canary switching.
💡 Examples
- 1 First route 5% of traffic to the new version for observation
- 2 Perform canary splitting based on user ID suffix
- 3 New models are first opened for testing to internal users
