Canary Deployment in PEGA Platform: Enhancing Software Release Management

Abstract

Canary deployment is a progressive strategy for software releases, minimizing risks by gradually rolling out changes to a small subset of users before wider deployment. This paper investigates the implementation of canary deployment within the Pega Platform, a robust technology for Business Process Management (BPM) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). It explores the benefits, challenges, and methodologies of canary deployment, presenting empirical evidence and best practices for its successful adoption in Pega environments. The research aims to provide comprehensive insights for practitioners and organizations seeking to enhance their release management processes and achieve smoother, less disruptive software updates.
