Creation and deployment of services

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a computer comprising a processor, a service request comprising a request for a service, wherein the service request identifies intended functionality of the service;
• accessing, by the processor, a service catalog that defines service components comprising microservices, the service catalog comprising metadata that defines purposes of the service components;
• recommending, by the processor and based on the intended functionality of the service and the metadata that defines the purposes of the service components, a service design for the service, the service design including a first service component and a second service component;
• configuring, by the processor, each of the first service component and the second service component, wherein configuring comprises defining outputs and inputs for the first service component and the second service component;
• identifying, by the processor and for each of the first service component and the second service component, infrastructure that is to support the first service component and the second service component and a geographic location of the infrastructure;
• configuring, by the processor and for each of the first service component and the second service component, security policies including one of a firewall, a filter list, or an authentication requirement;
• preparing, by the processor, the first service component and the second service component for deployment to the infrastructure;
• and
• triggering, by the processor, deployment of the first service component and the second service component to the infrastructure, wherein the first service component is deployed to a first computing environment and the second service component is deployed to a second computing environment.

A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a service request comprising a request for a service, wherein the service request identifies intended functionality of the service;
• accessing a service catalog that defines service components comprising microservices, the service catalog comprising metadata that defines purposes of the service components;
• recommending, based on the intended functionality of the service and the metadata that defines the purposes of the service components, a service design for the service, the service design including a first service component and a second service component;
• configuring each of the first service component and the second service component, wherein configuring comprises defining outputs and inputs for the first service component and the second service component;
• identifying, by the processor and for each of the first service component and the second service component, infrastructure that is to support the first service component and the second service component and a geographic location of the infrastructure;
• configuring, by the processor and for each of the first service component and the second service component, security policies including one of a firewall, a filter list, or an authentication requirement;
• preparing, by the processor, the first service component and the second service component for deployment to the infrastructure;
• and
• triggering, by the processor, deployment of the first service component and the second service component to the infrastructure, wherein the first service component is deployed to a first computing environment and the second service component is deployed to a second computing environment.
