What is zero-downtime deployment in Node.js?

Senior NodeJS
Quick Answer Zero-downtime deployment: deploy new instances first, run readiness checks, shift traffic gradually (rolling or blue-green), drain old instances before terminating. With PM2: pm2 reload does rolling restart. With Kubernetes: rolling update deployment strategy. The key is overlapping old and new versions briefly during transition.

Answer

Achieved using blue-green deployments, rolling updates, graceful connection draining, and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
