Service mesh canary architecture diagram splitting traffic between baseline 95% and canary 5% model pods with automated SLO monitoring.

What it shows

  • A service mesh routes a fractional percentage of users to the candidate.
  • Error rates and latency thresholds are verified in tight evaluation loops.
  • Automated step controllers roll back traffic instantly if SLOs degrade.

The takeaway

Canary rollouts expose subtle model regressions to a tiny subset of users before complete promotion.
