Implement Zero-Downtime Deployment Strategy for API Server

Priority: Medium
Estimated Time: 2.5 hours

Description

Deploying API server updates causes brief downtime. Blue-green or rolling deployment would eliminate interruption.

Tasks

• Implement blue-green deployment: run two instances, switch traffic after new version is ready
• Implement health checks to verify new instance is healthy before switching
• Add automatic rollback if new version is unhealthy
• Document deployment strategy in docs/deployment-strategy.md
• Add tests for deployment flow and rollback
