This article is part of the Comprehensive Guide to Microservices Architecture in .NET Core, Cloud and Azure series.
This article explores proven deployment strategies for .NET microservices, including blue-green deployments for instant rollback capability, canary deployments for gradual risk mitigation, and automated metrics guards that detect issues before they impact users.
