Abstract: Systems herein supply hero cards that display contextual information and actions based on backend systems. The information and actions are related to a trigger content item in an application that does not have access to the backend systems. A hero agent running a user device can communicate the trigger content to a hero server.

Abstract: Deployment of a modified service affects the functioning of other services that make use of the service. To address the problems that deployment of modified executable code can cause in other services, a dependency lock is placed on candidate code to prevent deployment until tests on the client services are successfully completed.

As a result, deployment of the supplier service is only allowed when tests of the client services complete successfully. The administrator of the service being deployed may control which other users are able to add dependency locks without giving those users other permissions such as the ability to modify the source code of the service, the ability to deploy the service, and the like.
