System and method for self-orchestrated canary release deployment within an API gateway architecture

Abstract:

API gateways are updated utilizing canary release deployment in which a message broker delivers update messages to the API gateways first using a point-to-point messaging model and then a publish-and-subscribe messaging model. All the API gateways are capable of receiving point-to-point messages and publish-and-subscribe messages. First, a canary API gateway receives an update message from a message queue of the message broker and deploys the associated update on the canary API gateway. If deployment of the update is successful, then non-canary API gateways receive the update message from a message topic of the message broker and deploy the associated update on the non-canary API gateways.
