Deploy Web-services to an Enterprise Production Environment without outbreak
WRITTEN BY GUNTHER GERLACH-2010
This morning I was in a meeting were the bigest concern was trying to find the way to deploy applications and Web-services to an Enterprise Production Enviroment without outbreak or interruption of the services. This is a pretty big statement in an environment where multiples deployments at different levels happen every day but, there is a way!
When Web-services are running from full tolerance and distributed environments, the options are usually putting down half of the servers by stopping traffic and deploying the updated Web-service then latter switchiing traffic back. The problems with this approach are many, like direct impact on users by latency on the systems, huge conversion when a new service fail or break the environment and, a headache to rollback, among others.
