Multi-Service Release Example

Walkthrough of a multi-service release scenario

This example demonstrates how to orchestrate a release involving multiple services with dependencies.

Scenario

Release three services:

• Service A: Core service

• Service B: Depends on Service A

• Service C: Depends on Service A and B

Process Design

Phase 1: Preparation

• Code freeze

• Branch creation

• Dependency validation

Phase 2: Build

Build all services in parallel:

• Build Service A

• Build Service B

• Build Service C

Phase 3: Integration Testing

• Deploy to integration environment

• Run integration tests

• Validate dependencies

Phase 4: Staging

• Deploy to staging

• User acceptance testing

• Approval required

Phase 5: Production

• Production approval

• Deploy Service A

• Deploy Service B (after A)

• Deploy Service C (after A and B)

• Post-deployment validation

Key Features

Dependency Management

• Service B depends on Service A

• Service C depends on Service A and B

• Sequential deployment in production

Parallel Execution

• Build phase: Parallel builds

• Testing: Parallel where possible

• Production: Sequential deployment
