Zero-Downtime Deployment Migration

Blue-green or rolling releases with health checks and automatic rollback, so you ship in working hours without taking the product offline.

01 Overview

A release plan that depends on a quiet 2am window is a cost the team keeps paying. We move your application to a model where each new version starts up, passes its health checks and receives traffic only once it is ready, while the previous version stays running as a fallback. Database changes follow the expand-and-contract pattern, so old and new code never conflict over the schema. Everything is rehearsed in staging, including a deliberately failed release, before it is used in production.

02 Deliverables

7 items

What you receive at handover

  1. D01 Blue-green or rolling deployment on ECS, Kubernetes or EC2
  2. D02 Health check endpoints built and tuned to actual startup behaviour
  3. D03 Load balancer target groups and connection draining configured
  4. D04 Expand-and-contract approach to schema changes, written up and applied to one real release
  5. D05 Automatic rollback when health checks fail within a set window
  6. D06 Deployment runbook, including the manual override route
  7. D07 Failure drill rehearsed with your engineers present

03 Outcomes

What should be true once it ships

  • Releases take place in working hours, with the team alert and available
  • A failed release is reversed automatically, with no database restore needed
  • Deployments no longer need to be planned as special events

04 Process

How the 4 stages run

  1. Assess Deploy steps, causes of downtime and database coupling are mapped
  2. Prepare We implement health checks, the migration approach and the infrastructure changes
  3. Rehearse Release to staging, then deliberately fail one to show rollback happens
  4. Go live The first production release is run together with your team

05 Fit & inputs

A good fit for

  • Products serving users across more than one timezone
  • Teams for whom late-night releases have become a recurring cost
  • Companies bound by uptime commitments in customer contracts

What we need from you

  • Access to the application repository and wherever it is deployed
  • Time with a developer who knows the database schema
  • A staging environment that reasonably matches production

These inputs are collected through the technical brief in your dashboard after payment. The duration is counted from when they arrive.

Questions about this engagement

Yes. Expand-and-contract is precisely how single-database systems make schema changes without downtime.

We set health checks and grace periods to suit it, and note the startup time as worth addressing separately.

Yes, provided your load balancer supports it and there is enough traffic for a canary to tell you something. We advise on this during the assessment.

This is technology work delivered digitally — nothing is shipped. Work is delivered into systems you control within the duration stated above, and the delivery and refund policies set out what happens if a date is missed.
