  • Constructing build environments for software
    Patent number: 11182151
    Abstract: Build environments for software can be constructed. For example, a computing device can receive a file indicating a first software component to be installed in a build environment and a second software component to be built in the build environment. The computing device can perform a first setup phase for creating part of the build environment by causing the first software component to be installed in the build environment. The computing device can also determine that the first setup phase is complete. Based on determining that the first setup phase is complete, the computing device can perform a second setup phase for completing the build environment by causing the second software component to be built in the build environment.

  • Normalizing compound artifact dependency data
    Patent number: 10776331
    Abstract: A build dependency tracking system includes a plurality of heterogeneous database, a dependency database, a monitoring system, an extraction system, and a database system. The monitoring system is configured to receive a successful build record from one of the plurality of heterogeneous databases corresponding to a build. The extraction system is configured to (i) extract an artifact from the successful build record associated with the build and (ii) extract a relationship from the successful build record indicating how the artifact relates to the build. The database update system is configured to store an indication of the artifact and the relationship in the dependency database.
