This session presents a case study from Sonatel, a large telecom handling hundreds of millions of daily API requests.
Kubernetes' default rolling update strategy updates pods one by one, which can lead to issues under user traffic without an API Gateway, impacting end users.
Advanced deployment strategies like Canary and A/B Testing help detect issues early, preventing large-scale outages and reducing operational stress during releases. Combining the Kubernetes API Gateway with platform engineering is essential for managing multiple microservices and frequent releases.
