Automated software deployment techniques

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device:

• to obtain at least one request to merge one or more code changes associated with a first branch of software code with a second branch of software code, wherein the one or more code changes associated with the first branch of software code are deployed in at least one first cloud-based computing environment, and wherein the second branch of software code is deployed in at least one second cloud-based computing environment that is different than the at least one first cloud-based computing environment;
• to perform one or more tests to validate the at least one request;
• in response to validating the request, to perform a merge operation that merges the one or more code changes with the second branch of software code;
• and
• to deploy the second branch of software code to the at least one first cloud-based computing environment based at least in part on a first version tag that identifies the deployment of the one or more code changes to the first branch of software and a second version tag that identifies a most recent merge operation completed for a version of the second branch of software code previously deployed in the at least one second cloud-based computing environment.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
• the at least one processing device being configured:
• to obtain at least one request to merge one or more code changes associated with a first branch of software code with a second branch of software code, wherein the one or more code changes associated with the first branch of software code are deployed in at least one first cloud-based computing environment, and wherein the second branch of software code is deployed in at least one second cloud-based computing environment that is different than the at least one first cloud-based computing environment;
• to perform one or more tests to validate the at least one request;
• in response to validating the request, to perform a merge operation that merges the one or more code changes with the second branch of software code;
• and
• to deploy the second branch of software code to the at least one first cloud-based computing environment based at least in part on a first version tag that identifies the deployment of the one or more code changes to the first branch of software and a second version tag that identifies a most recent merge operation completed for a version of the second branch of software code previously deployed in the at least one second cloud-based computing environment.
