How do I implement canary releases for Conventional Commits?

Canary releases allow you to gradually roll out a new feature to a small subset of users before making it available to everyone. This practice is crucial in maintaining system stability while iteratively deploying changes. Implementing canary releases within a Conventional Commits framework can help improve communication regarding version changes and their purposes.

Example Implementation

<?php // Example of implementing canary release using Conventional Commits function deployCanaryRelease($version) { // Check if the version follows Conventional Commit guidelines if (preg_match('/^(feat|fix|chore|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci)(\([A-Za-z0-9_\-]+\))?: .+$/', $version)) { // Logic for canary deployment echo "Deploying canary release for version: " . $version; // Deploy the new feature to a small percentage of users canaryDeploy($version); } else { echo "Version does not follow Conventional Commit guidelines."; } } function canaryDeploy($version) { // Simulated logic for canary deployment // Example: Deploy to 5% of user base echo "Deploying " . $version . " to 5% of users."; } // Example usage deployCanaryRelease('feat(new-feature): add canary deployment functionality'); ?>
