Summary
The term "beta" has evolved from its original purpose of gathering feedback on product features to now signifying that a product is not fully ready for release. Companies like Microsoft, Instagram, and Google have adopted canary releases as an alternative approach to testing new features with a subset of users before full-scale rollout. This helps limit the impact of bugs or issues on the entire user base.
