Pipeline release validation

An apparatus for managing metadata, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory coupled with the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• generate an immutable identifier by executing a hashing function on a version of a codebase, the immutable identifier comprising a commit hash;
• generate a data structure comprising one or more subsets of metadata for respective utilities corresponding to respective stages of a pipeline executed on the codebase;
• retrieve, at one or more gates of the pipeline and using the immutable identifier, a subset of metadata of the one or more subsets of metadata;
• identify compliance information associated with one or more stages of the pipeline based at least in part on a comparison of policy information to the subset of metadata;
• and
• automatically deploy the version of the codebase to a production environment based at least in part on the compliance information.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for managing metadata, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• generate an immutable identifier by executing a hashing function on a version of a codebase, the immutable identifier comprising a commit hash;
• generate a data structure comprising one or more subsets of metadata for respective utilities corresponding to respective stages of a pipeline executed on the codebase;
• retrieve, at one or more gates of the pipeline and using the immutable identifier, a subset of metadata of the one or more subsets of metadata;
• identify compliance information associated with one or more stages of the pipeline based at least in part on a comparison of policy information to the subset of metadata;
• and
• automatically deploy the version of the codebase to a production environment based at least in part on the compliance information.
