Harness simplifies the process of creating canary deployments by enabling automated, phased rollouts with built-in verification steps to enhance safety and stability. The guide details a step-by-step approach to setting up an application, service, environment, and workflow to achieve a seamless deployment process. Canary deployments help mitigate the risk of deploying new software by gradually rolling out changes to a subset of production nodes and verifying each phase for stability and performance. Traditionally, this verification step is manually conducted by engineers, but Harness offers automation that uses integrations with APM and log tools to analyze data and verify deployments efficiently. By automating these processes, organizations can streamline their deployment workflows and reduce reliance on manual verifications, allowing for faster and more reliable software releases.
