Canary Rollouts: Ship to a Few First
Shift a small slice of traffic to the new model.
What a Canary Is
A canary rollout sends your new model to a small slice of real traffic first, so any damage stays tiny while you watch. 🐤
Why Not Ship to Everyone
Flipping all traffic to a fresh model at once is a big-bang deploy: if it is wrong, every single user feels it instantly.
