  • Patent number: 10585656
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein that facilitate automatically audited software deployment. When a software deployment event is scheduled by a user, an event manager selects and bundles data, properties, and computer readable instructions for the deployment based on a particular client, environment, and/or release packet. At the scheduled time, the event manager automatically triggers deployment of the software via an integration manager, without the need for a software engineer. The event manager monitors the integration manager throughout processing of workflow to deploy software of the release packet. In near real-time, the event manager identifies when a failure occurs, identifies the specific cause of failures in a workflow, and sends the information as an alert to a user. The event manager also facilitates restarting processing of a workflow at a particular failed step.
