These strategies enable a controlled and gradual rollout of new features, ensuring a smooth and successful release that enhances user trust and improves the overall user experience. + +The Flux project offers a specialised controller called [Flagger](https://github.com/fluxcd/flagger) that implements various progressive delivery techniques.
