The new-release tag approach looks interesting. Testing the new version without serving traffic is a smart way to ensure stability before rolling it out.

Splitting the traffic 50/50 in the staging environment is a bit risky. I'd prefer a smaller percentage to start with and gradually increase it if the test passes.

That's a good point, Shizue. But I still think minimizing impact is crucial, so I prefer option A.

Deploying the new version to the staging environment and gradually rolling it out while monitoring the traffic seems like a sensible approach. Minimizing user and developer impact is the key here.

B) That sounds like a good plan. Testing with a small percentage of traffic first is a smart move to minimize impact.

I disagree, I believe option B is better. Splitting traffic evenly will give a more accurate test of the new version.

I think option A is the best choice. It allows for gradual testing without impacting users and developers too much.
