System and method for distribution of dependent builds across orchestration job scheduler slaves

A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed across one or more processors, causes at least a portion of the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining an input for a build, wherein a source code management repository, including one or more pointers, is used to provide a consistent snapshot in time across one or more repositories to obtain the input for the build, wherein each of the one or more pointers are associated with a respective component repository, wherein obtaining the input for the build includes updating at least one pointer of the one or more pointers only when the build is achieved;
• obtaining an initial orchestration job scheduler object based upon the input for the build;
• determining a directed acyclic graph (DAG) based upon, at least in part, a dependency engine preprocessing;
• storing the DAG in a format;
• building an array of steps based upon, at least in part, the initial orchestration job scheduler object;
• translating information in the DAG from the initial orchestration job scheduler object into a format readable by an initial orchestration job scheduler to build the array of steps, wherein the building of the array of steps includes:
• passing the information in the DAG translated into the readable format to a pipeline and dynamically generating a collection of nodes required for the building of the array of steps, wherein each of the array of steps is associated with at least one label configured to specify on which node, of the collection of nodes, each of the array of steps should be executed on;
• and
• sequencing the array of steps using the pipeline according to the DAG, wherein the array of steps according to the DAG includes one or more orchestration job scheduler slaves;
• and
• executing the array of steps to perform the build.

• determining a directed acyclic graph (DAG) based upon, at least in part, a dependency engine preprocessing;
• storing the DAG in a format;
• building an array of steps based upon, at least in part, the initial orchestration job scheduler object;
• translating information in the DAG from the initial orchestration job scheduler object into a format readable by an initial orchestration job scheduler to build the array of steps, wherein the building of the array of steps includes:
• passing the information in the DAG translated into the readable format to a pipeline and dynamically generating a collection of nodes required for the building of the array of steps, wherein each of the array of steps is associated with at least one label configured to specify on which node, of the collection of nodes, each of the array of steps should be executed on;
