Techniques for conditional deployment of application artifacts

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having stored thereon program code executable by a computer system, the program code comprising:

• code that causes the computer system to receive a deployment plan for a software application, the deployment plan specifying a plurality of artifacts for the software application and default deployment logic for the plurality of artifacts, the software application comprising a Service Oriented Architecture application, the deployment plan generated based at least in part by:
• storing a functional representation of the Service Oriented Architecture application in a shared data store;
• collecting metadata pertaining to software services used by the Service Oriented Architecture application;
• and
• generating the deployment plan based at least in part on the functional representation and the metadata;
• and
• code that causes the computer system to process the deployment plan, the processing comprising:
• determining, for each artifact in the plurality of artifacts, whether the artifact is associated with a user-defined condition, the user-defined condition including variables provided by a user for modifying the deployment plan, the deployment plan modified by conditional deployment logic based at least in part on the user-defined condition;
• and
• if the artifact is associated with a user-defined condition:
• evaluating the user-defined condition;
• and
• executing the deployment plan with the conditional deployment logic for the artifact based at least in part on the evaluation of the user-defined condition.

A system comprising:

• a storage device configured to store a deployment plan for a software application, the deployment plan specifying a plurality of artifacts for the software application and default deployment logic for the plurality of artifacts, the software application comprising a Service Oriented Architecture application, the deployment plan generated based at least in part by:
• storing a functional representation of the Service Oriented Architecture application in a shared data store;
• collecting metadata pertaining to software services used by the Service Oriented Architecture application;
• and
• generating the deployment plan based at least in part on the functional representation and the metadata;
• and
• a processor configured to process the deployment plan by:
• determining, for each artifact in the plurality of artifacts, whether the artifact is associated with a user-defined condition, the user-defined condition including variables provided by a user for modifying the deployment plan, the deployment plan modified by conditional deployment logic based at least in part on the user-defined condition;
• and
• if the artifact is associated with a user-defined condition:
• evaluating the user-defined condition;
• and
• executing the deployment plan with the conditional deployment logic for the artifact based at least in part on the evaluation of the user-defined condition.
