Blue-Green vs Rolling? Does Software Engineering Deliver Zero-Downtime? Industry data shows rollback windows often exceed 30 seconds even with blue-green strategy. In practice, achieving true zero-downtime requires tightly integrated CI/CD pipelines, automated rollback triggers, and observability that spans both environments. Software Engineering: Redefining CI/CD for Risk-Free Deployments When
