4 weeks Self-paced plus labs Intermediate
Overview
Deployments are integration events. You will orchestrate staged rollouts with synthetic checks that hit partner sandboxes, gate merges on backward-compatible schema changes, and build rollback stories that include webhook replay windows.
What you practice
- Blue/green exercise with health checks that respect warm caches
- Database migration paired with API version toggles
- Synthetic canary hitting vendor sandbox endpoints
- Feature flag interplay with public API contracts
- Post-deploy verification checklist template
Outcomes
- Design a deploy checklist for a two-service dependency
- Automate a contract gate on a sample pipeline
- Run a tabletop rollback with webhook implications
