How do you execute canary deployments for Node.js apps?

Expert NodeJS
Quick Answer Canary deployment: route a small percentage (1-5%) of traffic to the new Node.js version using weighted load balancing (nginx, ALB, or a service mesh). Monitor error rates, latency, and business metrics for the canary. Gradually increase traffic if stable; roll back immediately if metrics degrade. Canary reduces blast radius of bad deployments.

Answer

Release new versions to a small traffic subset, monitor metrics, then expand rollout. Rollback instantly if issues arise.
