  • Preemptive deployment in software deployment pipelines
    Patent number: 10642599
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reducing the time needed to deploy updated versions of an application using a deployment pipeline. To do so, a deployment manager may collect statistics reflecting how often any given stage of the deployment pipeline is completed successfully in deploying updates to the application. In cases where a current stage has a sufficient approval percentage, the deployment pipeline may begin deploying an updated version of the application into an environment specified for a subsequent stage of the deployment pipeline, before the current stage of the pipeline is complete. Provided the current stage completes successfully, the subsequent stage can be initiated by activating the pre-deployed versions of the application.
    Type: Grant
