What’s the benefit of using canary deployments instead of rolling updates?

Example Concept: In a canary deployment, a new version of an application is initially released to a small percentage of users or a specific segment of the infrastructure. This allows teams to validate the new release under real-world conditions while limiting exposure to potential bugs or performance issues. Observability tools are often used to monitor key metrics and user feedback during this phase. If no significant issues are detected, the deployment can be gradually expanded to the rest of the user base. This approach contrasts with rolling updates, where the new version is incrementally deployed across all instances, potentially affecting all users simultaneously.
