In the wake of the CrowdStrike update outage, organizations are increasingly focusing on enhancing their software update and delivery practices to ensure business resilience and maintain user trust. The blog discusses the importance of adopting modern deployment techniques like progressive delivery strategies—such as rolling, blue/green, canary deployments, and feature flagging—to mitigate risks and minimize downtime during software rollouts. These methods provide a controlled and gradual approach to releasing software, reducing the impact of potential failures. Integrating tools like the Dynatrace platform into continuous delivery processes offers automated monitoring and validation, allowing teams to proactively identify issues and respond swiftly, thus safeguarding the customer experience. By embedding Dynatrace's observability into CI/CD pipelines, organizations can enhance their pre-release and post-deployment phases, ensuring high-quality and stable software releases. This integration ultimately helps prevent outages and fosters a more reliable and competitive software delivery process.
