Blue-Green Deployment is a DevOps strategy used to release new versions of applications with zero downtime.
It works by running two identical environments: one โ€œblueโ€ (currently live) and one โ€œgreenโ€ (new version).

When a new version is ready, it is deployed to the green environment.
Once tests pass and the system is verified, traffic is switched from blue to green.
If anything goes wrong, traffic can be easily routed back to the blue environment.

This strategy reduces risk during deployments, especially in production.
It allows teams to test the new version in a real environment before exposing it to users.

In cloud-native environments, Blue-Green Deployment can be automated with tools like Kubernetes, ArgoCD, or Spinnaker.
Itโ€™s commonly used in critical systems where uptime is essential.
