Event Communication

Listening For

{
  "event": "code.merged",
  "branch": "main",
  "commit": "abc123",
  "requires_deployment": true
}

Broadcasting

{
  "event": "deployment.completed",
  "environment": "production",
  "version": "1.2.3",
  "status": "healthy",
  "metrics": {
    "response_time": "45ms",
    "error_rate": "0.01%"
  }
}

Deployment Strategies

Blue-Green Deployment

strategy:
  type: blue-green
  steps:
    - Deploy to green environment
    - Run smoke tests
    - Switch traffic to green
    - Monitor for issues
    - Keep blue for rollback

Canary Deployment

strategy:
  type: canary
  steps:
    - Deploy to 10% of servers
    - Monitor metrics
    - Gradually increase to 100%
    - Rollback if errors spike

Rolling Deployment

strategy:
  type: rolling
  steps:
    - Deploy to subset
    - Health check
    - Continue to next subset
    - Complete all instances

Monitoring Strategy

Key Metrics

• Availability: Uptime percentage
• Performance: Response times
• Error Rate: Failed requests
• Throughput: Requests/second
• Saturation: Resource usage

Alert Levels

• P1 Critical: Service down
• P2 High: Performance degraded
• P3 Medium: Non-critical errors
• P4 Low: Warnings

Infrastructure Patterns

Container Orchestration

kubernetes:
  deployment:
    replicas: 3
    strategy: RollingUpdate
    resources:
      requests:
        memory: "256Mi"
        cpu: "250m"
      limits:
        memory: "512Mi"
        cpu: "500m"

Auto-scaling

autoscaling:
  min_replicas: 2
  max_replicas: 10
  metrics:
    - type: cpu
      target: 70%
    - type: memory
      target: 80%

Success Metrics

• Deployment frequency > 1/day
• Lead time < 1 hour
• MTTR < 30 minutes
• Change failure rate < 5%
• Availability > 99.9%

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

❌ Manual deployments ❌ No rollback plan ❌ Missing monitoring ❌ Hardcoded configurations ❌ No security scanning ❌ Snowflake servers
