Implementing a Coloring Environment for Test Environment Stability

DeWu solved chronic test‑environment instability by evolving from isolated ECS machines to container clusters and finally to a traffic‑tagging “coloring” environment, where an x‑infr‑flowtype header routes requests to dedicated coloring nodes, achieving over 95% demand coverage, reduced conflict, lower costs, and a roadmap toward production gray‑release.
