Blue Green Deployment of Docker Compose Azure App

I have a docker compose-based Azure App that makes use of Azure MySql Flexible Server and credentials stored in Azure Keyvault.

I am wondering if there are any guidelines for blue-green deployment of Docker Compose Azure App. I know Azure App's deployment slots can be allocated but that option is not available in Azure MySql Flexible Server.

What are the best practices to address this issue?

Regards,

Umar

    Hi,

    Blue-Green deployment is generally not applicable to database servers.

    Doing blue/green on a database is more of a mandate of "no breaking changes", than a technical solution. A database is generally too big to copy to a new server and swap out for every deployment, and not really necessary if you follow the rules of no breaking changes.

    I suggest you read this: https://spring.io/blog/2016/05/31/zero-downtime-deployment-with-a-database

    Kindly accept if it helps , Thanks
