Rolling Update

# Kubernetes rolling update
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-app
spec:
  replicas: 4
  strategy:
    type: RollingUpdate
    rollingUpdate:
      maxSurge: 1        # Can exceed replicas by 1

            initialDelaySeconds: 5
            periodSeconds: 5

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform

# main.tf
terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.0"
    }
  }

  backend "s3" {
    bucket = "my-terraform-state"
    key    = "prod/terraform.tfstate"
    region = "us-east-1"
  }
}

# Variables
variable "environment" {
  type    = string
  default = "production"
}

variable "instance_count" {
  type    = number
  default = 2
}

# Resources
resource "aws_vpc" "main" {
  cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"

  tags = {
    Name        = "main-vpc"
    Environment = var.environment
  }
}

resource "aws_instance" "web" {
  count         = var.instance_count
  ami           = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0"
  instance_type = "t3.micro"

  vpc_security_group_ids = [aws_security_group.web.id]

  tags = {
    Name = "web-${count.index}"
  }
}

# Outputs
output "instance_ips" {
  value = aws_instance.web[*].public_ip
}

Terraform Modules

# modules/vpc/main.tf
variable "cidr_block" {
  type = string
}

variable "environment" {
  type = string
}

resource "aws_vpc" "this" {
  cidr_block = var.cidr_block
  tags = {
    Environment = var.environment
  }
}

output "vpc_id" {
  value = aws_vpc.this.id
}

# Using the module
module "vpc" {
  source      = "./modules/vpc"
  cidr_block  = "10.0.0.0/16"
  environment = "production"
}

resource "aws_subnet" "main" {
  vpc_id = module.vpc.vpc_id
  # ...
}

Docker

Dockerfile Best Practices

# Use specific version tags
FROM node:20-alpine AS builder

# Set working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Copy dependency files first (layer caching)
COPY package*.json ./

# Install dependencies
RUN npm ci --only=production

# Copy source code
COPY . .

# Build application
RUN npm run build

# Production stage - smaller final image
FROM node:20-alpine AS production

WORKDIR /app

# Create non-root user
RUN addgroup -g 1001 -S nodejs && \
    adduser -S nodejs -u 1001

# Copy from builder
COPY --from=builder --chown=nodejs:nodejs /app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=builder --chown=nodejs:nodejs /app/node_modules ./node_modules

# Use non-root user
USER nodejs

# Expose port
EXPOSE 3000

# Health check
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s \
  CMD wget --quiet --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:3000/health || exit 1

# Run application
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]

Docker Compose

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'

services:
  app:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:password@db:5432/myapp
      - REDIS_URL=redis://cache:6379
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy
      cache:
        condition: service_started

  db:
    image: postgres:15-alpine
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
      - POSTGRES_DB=myapp
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5

Feature Flags

// Using LaunchDarkly / Unleash pattern
interface FeatureFlags {
  newCheckoutFlow: boolean;
  betaFeatures: boolean;
  maxUploadSize: number;
}

class FeatureFlagService {
  constructor(private client: FeatureFlagClient) {}

  async isEnabled(flag: keyof FeatureFlags, user?: User): Promise<boolean> {
    return this.client.getBooleanValue(flag, false, {
      userId: user?.id,
      email: user?.email,
      groups: user?.groups
    });
  }
}

// Usage
if (await featureFlags.isEnabled('newCheckoutFlow', user)) {
  return <NewCheckoutFlow />;
} else {
  return <LegacyCheckout />;
}
