Flexible system provisioning using a knowledge graph and a central cloud repository

A computer-implemented system comprising:

• one or more computers;
• and
• a computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more computers having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a request for provisioning of a software solution;
• accessing a knowledge graph for the software solution that comprises a graph of object types of sample data for the software solution and dependency information for the object types;
• traversing the knowledge graph to identify object types included in the software solution and object dependencies of identified object types;
• invoking an API (Application Programming Interface) to query a data repository to determine whether the data repository includes, for each identified object type, data for the identified object type;
• in response to determining that the data repository includes, for each identified object type, data for the identified object type, invoking the API to iteratively retrieve, in a dependency order determined based on the object dependencies of the identified object types, data from the data repository of each identified object type in a dependency order determined based on the object dependencies of the identified object types;
• and
• providing retrieved data, in the dependency order, for deployment during provisioning of the software solution.

A computer program product encoded on a non-transitory storage medium, the product comprising non-transitory, computer readable instructions for causing one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request for provisioning of a software solution;
• accessing a knowledge graph for the software solution that comprises a graph of object types of sample data for the software solution and dependency information for the object types;
• traversing the knowledge graph to identify object types included in the software solution and object dependencies of identified object types;
• invoking an API (Application Programming Interface) to query a data repository to determine whether the data repository includes, for each identified object type, data for the identified object type;
• in response to determining that the data repository includes, for each identified object type, data for the identified object type, invoking the API to iteratively retrieve, in a dependency order determined based on the object dependencies of the identified object types, data from the data repository of each identified object type in a dependency order determined based on the object dependencies of the identified object types;
• and
• providing retrieved data, in the dependency order, for deployment during provisioning of the software solution.
