90-92: Enhance case study section with specific details and citations.The case study section mentions Amazon and Netflix implementing zero-downtime deployments, but lacks specific details, dates, or citations. Consider adding links to published case studies, blog posts, or documentation that substantiate these claims and provide readers with concrete examples to learn from.

Fix the inaccessible Reddit link in the recommended reading section.
Three of the four external links are accessible (HTTP 200), but the Reddit URL returns HTTP 403 (Forbidden) and is not accessible. This link should be manually verified in a browser or replaced with an alternative resource to ensure readers can access all recommended references.

In apps/www/content/glossary/zero-downtime-api-deployment.mdx around lines 28 to
35 the Reddit link returns HTTP 403 and is inaccessible; verify the URL in a
browser and either fix it (use the canonical reddit.com URL with trailing slash
and proper user-agent-safe path) or replace it with a reachable alternative
resource about API downtime best practices (e.g., an accessible blog post,
official docs, or a Stack Overflow/engineering blog link), then update the YAML
entry so all recommended reading links return HTTP 200.

@perkinsjr Thank you for verifying! You're absolutely right. Reddit frequently blocks automated requests and scrapers with HTTP 403 responses while allowing normal browser traffic through. Since the link is accessible for regular users visiting the documentation, no changes are needed.
The automated check failed due to Reddit's anti-bot measures, but the link serves its intended purpose perfectly for human readers. 🐰
