The goal of this project is to practice setting up a blue-green deployment strategy for a simple web application. This will allow you to deploy your application in a more efficient and reliable way.

Requirement

You are required to take an existing application (e.g. the one you built in multi-container service project) and setup a blue-green deployment strategy for it. The goal is to deploy the next version of the application in a separate container and switch the traffic to the new container only when the new version is ready.

Bonus

  • Setup a CI/CD pipeline to automatically deploy the application to the server when the code is pushed to the repository.
  • Setup a monitoring system to monitor the application and the deployment process.

After finishing this project you will have a good understanding of how to deploy a containerized application in a more efficient way without downtime and with zero data loss.
