Canary Deployment

This handles gradual rollouts by sending a small percentage of traffic to a new version while monitoring for issues. You get automatic rollback based on metrics, which beats the nail-biting alternative of flipping everything at once and hoping. The skill includes Istio-based implementations, Kubernetes-native scripts, and metrics analysis configs. Best suited for high-traffic services where you need real-world validation before going wide. The automated promotion piece is genuinely useful if you're tired of babysitting deployments at 2am. Works well with A/B testing if you're already tracking user-level metrics.
