Blue-green deployments enable zero-downtime releases by maintaining two identical production environments and switching traffic between them seamlessly.
Initialize blue-green deployment by creating blue and green upstreams, wiring a route to blue, and preparing a switch plan.

Blue-green deployment in APISIX is implemented by creating two parallel upstream environments and switching traffic between them via route updates or the traffic-split plugin. This enables zero-downtime releases with rollback procedures.
Yes, the a6 CLI supports declarative workflows using config diff and config sync commands. This allows you to apply auditable release configurations and manage route updates for blue-green upstream swaps.
The best way to split traffic between two upstreams is using the APISIX traffic-split plugin. It allows you to route specific percentages of traffic to parallel environments, enabling controlled testing before a full upstream swap.
Rollback in a blue-green deployment is performed by restoring the previous live environment through route updates. This switches traffic back to the original upstream, ensuring immediate recovery from a failed release.
Declarative config workflows are not strictly required but are recommended for managing APISIX blue-green deployments. Using a6 config diff and config sync provides auditable releases and safety guards when swapping upstreams.
