Delivering and deploying services in multi-server landscapes

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for development and deployment of a product to a multi-server landscape, the operations comprising:

• receiving first user input defining a product and indicating two or more components that the product comprises;
• receiving second user input comprising a project definition of a project, the project being associated with development and deployment of the product to a multi-server landscape, the second user input indicating respective integrated development environments (IDEs) used to develop the two or more components;
• and
• receiving third user input, and in response to the third user input, automatically:
• providing metadata indicating the project, constituent components of the product, and one or more run-time environments for deployment of constituent components,
• receiving the two or more components respectively developed using the two or more IDEs, and
• generating a product package comprising the metadata and the two or more components.
