Canary Deployments for Static Content: Rolling Out Risk-Free

frontend intermediate

TL;DR

CloudFront Functions lets you roll out static content migrations risk-free, starting with tiny percentages of traffic.

Google just killed Kubernetes pricing as we know it - or rather, AWS CloudFront Functions did. The new feature lets you roll out static content migrations without risking the whole production environment. Instead of sending 50% of traffic to a new build and hoping for the best, you can start with 0.1% or even 0.01%, observe what happens under real conditions, and expand only when the evidence says you should.
