SupaScore
84.85Best for
- ▸Implementing canary deployment pipelines with automated rollback triggers based on error rate SLIs
- ▸Setting up feature flag architecture with percentage-based user rollouts and kill switches
- ▸Designing progressive rollout strategies from 1% internal users to full production release
- ▸Building observability-driven deployment decisions using Flagger or Argo Rollouts
- ▸Creating A/B testing infrastructure integrated with traffic splitting for safe experimentation
What you'll get
- ●Complete canary deployment configuration with Flagger/Argo Rollouts including traffic splitting rules, success metrics thresholds, and automated rollback triggers
- ●Feature flag architecture design with LaunchDarkly/Unleash integration, flag lifecycle policies, and user targeting rules for progressive rollouts
- ●Observability dashboard setup with deployment-specific SLIs, automated analysis criteria, and integration with promotion/rollback decisions
Not designed for ↓
- ×Basic CI/CD pipeline setup without progressive deployment capabilities
- ×Static blue-green deployments without gradual traffic shifting
- ×Feature development or code implementation (focuses on release strategy)
- ×Traditional monitoring setup without deployment-specific health checks
Details about the application architecture, current deployment pipeline maturity, risk tolerance, and specific metrics for measuring deployment health (error rates, latency, business KPIs).
