Method and system for comparing different versions of a cloud based application in a production environment using segregated backend systems

A system for comparing two versions of a cloud based application in a production environment using segregated backend systems comprising:

• a production environment;
• a first version of an application implemented in the production environment;
• a second version of the application implemented in the production environment;
• two or more segregated backend systems associated with the implementation of the first and second versions of the application in the production environment;
• actual user data associated with the application implemented in the production environment;
• an AB routing system;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having stored therein instructions which when executed by any set of the one or more processors, perform a process for comparing two versions of a cloud based application in a production environment using segregated backend systems, the process for comparing two versions of a cloud based application in a production environment using segregated backend systems including:
• receiving the actual user data;
• routing a first portion of the actual user data representing user data from a first group of users to be processed by the first version of the application using a first backend system of the two or more backend systems;
• routing a second portion of the actual user data representing user data from a second group of users to be processed by the second version of the application using a second backend system of the two or more backend systems;
• processing the first portion of the actual user data using the first version of the application in the production environment and the first backend system of the two or more backend systems to transform the first portion of the actual user data into first portion of actual users' results data;
• processing the second portion of the actual user data using the second version of the application in the production environment and the second backend system of the two or more backend systems to transform the second portion of the actual user data into second portion of actual users' results data;
• and
• analyzing the second portion of actual users' results data to evaluate the production environment and/or operation of the second version of the application in the production environment.

A method for comparing two versions of a cloud based application in a production environment using segregated backend systems comprising:

• implementing a first version of an application in a production environment;
• implementing a second version of an application in the production environment;
• providing two or more backend systems associated with the implementation of the first and second versions of the application in the production environment;
• receiving actual user data;
• routing a first portion of the actual user data representing user data from a first group of users to be processed by the first version of the application using a first backend system of the two or more backend systems;
• routing a second portion of the actual user data representing user data from a second group of users to be processed by the second version of the application using a second backend system of the two or more backend systems;
• processing the first portion of the actual user data using the first version of the application in the production environment and the first backend system of the two or more backend systems to transform the first portion of the actual user data into first portion of actual users' results data;
• processing the second portion of the actual user data using the second version of the application in the production environment and the second backend system of the two or more backend systems to transform the second portion of the actual user data into second portion of actual users' results data;
• and
• analyzing the second portion of actual users' results data to evaluate the production environment and/or operation of the second version of the application in the production environment.
