🟦🟩 Blue/Green Deployment: In this strategy, two identical environments, Blue (live) and Green (idle), are maintained. The new version is deployed in Green, and once stable, traffic is routed to Green, reducing downtime and risk.

🐦 Canary Deployment: Here, the new version is rolled out to a small subset of servers. Once confirmed stable, the update is extended to all servers. This strategy minimizes the impact of any potential issues.

🔄 Rolling Deployment: The new version is gradually deployed across all servers. Each server is updated sequentially, minimizing the impact on capacity and providing a smooth transition between versions.

🅰️🅱️ A/B Testing: While not strictly a deployment pattern, it's a strategy where two versions (A and B) are deployed. A portion of users are directed to each, and performance is compared to decide which version to proceed with.

🔀 Feature Toggles: In this pattern, new features are deployed 'off' by default and can be gradually enabled for subsets of users. This allows for safer deployments, easy rollbacks and testing in production.

🌓 Shadow Deployments: Here, the new version is released alongside the old one, with real-world requests sent to both. Only the responses from the old version are sent to users. This allows monitoring and testing the new version with real-world traffic.
