Zero Down Time Upgrade for a Multi-Tenant Identity and Data Security Management Cloud Service

A cloud-based identity management system comprising:

• a first microservice for performing an identity management service and having a corresponding first version application programming interface (API) that identifies the first microservice;
• a second microservice for performing the identity management service, the second microservice comprising a new version of the first microservice and having a corresponding second version API that identifies the second microservice;
• a resource manager comprising a common data access layer, the resource manager receiving a request for performing the identity management service from a client of the identity management system, the request comprises a uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the first version API or the second version API are identified in the URL;
• a database coupled to both the first microservice and the second microservice;
• and
• either the first microservice or the second microservice configured to perform the identity management service based on the request and using tenant data stored in a database.

A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to provide versioning in a cloud-based identity management system, the versioning comprising:

• providing a first microservice for performing an identity management service and having a corresponding first version application programming interface (API) that identifies the first microservice;
• providing a second microservice for performing the identity management service, the second microservice comprising a new version of the first microservice and having a corresponding second version API that identifies the second microservice;
• receiving a request for performing the identity management service from a client of the identity management system, the request comprises a uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the first version API or the second version API are identified in the URL;
• and
• performing the identity management service using either the first microservice or the second microservice based on the request and using tenant data stored in a database.
