Abstract

A system provides electronic integration and deployment of computer code in a code development network. The system may comprise a multilayered distributed ledger structure and may perform real-time source code conflict checks by combining the latest nonce from a primary distributed ledger with the genesis block of a working distributed ledger into a hash algorithm. Depending on whether the output of said hash algorithm satisfies the cryptographic challenge set by the distributed ledger system, the system may be able to detect mismatches between the source code found in a working distributed ledger and the source code found in the primary distributed ledger. Furthermore, the system may include production systems as nodes of the primary distributed ledger such that the production systems may maintain updated copies of the source code throughout the software development process.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A system for electronic integration and deployment of computer code in a code development network, the system comprising:

a memory device with computer-readable program code stored thereon;
a communication device;
and
a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device and the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the computer-readable program code to:
retrieve, from a primary distributed ledger, a latest version of computer code;
generate, from the latest version of the computer code, a working distributed ledger comprising a working genesis block, wherein the working genesis block is a copy of a latest block within the primary distributed ledger at a first point in time, wherein the working genesis block is a first block within the working distributed ledger;
submit a proposed block to the working distributed ledger, wherein the proposed block comprises one or more commits to the computer code;
repeatedly execute, at designated time intervals, a computer code conflict check by comparing the primary distributed ledger with the working distributed ledger, wherein the computer code conflict check comprises:
retrieving a nonce value from the latest block within the primary distributed ledger at the first point in time;
and
combining the nonce value with a block header of the working genesis block within the working distributed ledger into a hash algorithm to generate a hash output;
and
validate the proposed block via a consensus algorithm.
