Model Release Strategies: Canary, Shadow & Rollback

Ship a new model without betting the business on day one — shadow, canary, blue/green, and rollback triggers

Learn why a model release is not a normal software deploy because 'correct' is statistical rather than pass/fail, and how shadow mode, canary rollouts, blue/green deployment, gradual ramps, and automatic vs. human-gated rollback triggers manage that risk. Includes a risk-profile-to-strategy decision table and the release metrics to watch during a rollout.
