Blue-Green and Canary Deploys for Agents
Roll new prompts and models to 5% of traffic, watch metrics, then ramp — never big-bang.
Deploying Agents Is Different
Traditional code deploys are deterministic — a unit test pass means the change is safe. LLM agent deploys are NOT — even with the same code, swapping a prompt or model can subtly degrade quality.
Use deployment strategies designed to detect regressions early.
Blue-Green Deploys
Two identical environments:
- Blue — current production
- Green — new version
Switch traffic 0% -> 100% in one step after testing green.
