10. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to:

receive an update to a component to be deployed as part of a deployed application;

determine a first risk factor for deploying a new version of the component comprising the update, the first risk factor identifying a technical impact associated with deploying the new version of the component comprising the update;

receive information identifying a non-technical impact associated with deploying the new version of the component comprising the update;

based at least in part on the information identifying the non-technical impact of the update, determine a second risk factor for deploying the new version of the component comprising the update;

use the first risk factor and the second risk factor to determine a deployment risk factor prior to deploying the new version of the component comprising the update; based at least in part on the deployment risk factor, generate a deployment plan for deploying the new version of the component comprising the update, the deployment plan identifying a deployment order for deploying the new version of the component comprising the update to a plurality of regions, wherein the deployment order identifies at least a first subset of customers located in a first region of the plurality of regions for deploying the new version of the component comprising the update; and

based at least in part on the deployment plan, deploy the new version of the component comprising the update in accordance with the deployment order in a computing environment of the computer system.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising instructions to identify an update type corresponding to the update, wherein the first risk factor identifies the technical impact associated with deploying the new version of the component comprising the update type.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the update type comprises at least one of a visual update, a functional update, a configuration update or an inter-component dependency update.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the information identifying the non-technical impact of the update comprises information that identifies the update as a customer facing update or a non-customer facing update, information that identifies a set of customers impacted by the update or information that identifies a network traffic load in a region of deployment of the new version of the component comprising the update.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions to determine the deployment risk factor for deploying the new version of the component comprising the update comprises instructions to:

determine a first weight value to be assigned to the first risk factor based at least in part on an update type associated with the update;

determine a second weight value to be assigned to the second risk factor based at least in part on the information identifying the non-technical impact of the update; and
