Dynamic update of applications as code is checked-in
View Patent ↗Software accesses a code database and determines that a specified percentage of the code in the code database for an application has been updated. The software then accesses an application database and obtains the application as currently deployed. The software obtains one or more application specifications from the application database, based at least in part on a scan of the application. And the software obtains one or more code-module specifications from the code database, based at least in part on the one or more application specifications. The software then determines that an update can be made to the application as currently deployed, based at least in part on code-module dependencies identified in the one or more application specifications and updated code modules for the application in the code database. And the software creates a new version of the application using the updated code modules and deploys the new version.
1. A method, comprising operations of:
accessing a code database and determining that a specified percentage of the code in the code database for an application has been updated;
accessing an application database and obtaining the application as currently deployed;
obtaining one or more application specifications from the application database, based at least in part on a scan of the application to determine a dependency graph topology for code modules in the application;
obtaining one or more code-module specifications from the code database, based at least in part on the one or more application specifications;
determining that an update can be made to the application as currently deployed, based at least in part on code-module dependencies identified in the one or more application specifications and updated code modules for the application in the code database; and
creating a new version of the application using the updated code modules and deploying the new version, wherein each operation of the method is performed by one or more processors.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application uses web technologies.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application is a standalone custom application.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application allows a user to play a multi-player online game.
