Traffic Shifting - CI/CD Glossary Definition
Traffic shifting is gradually routing a percentage of requests from an old version to a new one, for example 5 percent, then 25 percent, then 100 percent, so you can monitor the new version under real load.
How it works
A load balancer, service mesh, or ingress controller splits requests by weight. If error rates rise, the weight is shifted back to the stable version.
