ACCOUNT-BASED SOFTWARE UPGRADES IN A MULTI-TENANT ECOSYSTEM

摘要

A scalable infrastructure containing multiple computer devices may be used for executing a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) software application. The multiple computer devices of the infrastructure may be divided into several collections of computer devices. Each collection of computer devices is used to execute a different version of the SaaS software application (e.g., a “legacy” version, a “stable” version, and a new “development” version). Different user accounts belonging to a customer organization can then each use one of these SaaS software versions, with requests from each user account being interpreted and routed by an input management module of the infrastructure to the appropriate computer set that executes the appropriate SaaS software version. The appropriate computer set then provides the SaaS service to a user computer device or web server that serves the user account. The SaaS software version used by the user account can be upgraded by the user account.

主权项

1. A method for software version management, the method comprising:
receiving a first service request from a first user account, the first service request requesting that a first service be provided to a first recipient computer device associated with the first user account, the first service to be a provided by a first version of a Software-as-a-Service software application; generating a first version-specific request based on the first service request; and transmitting the first version-specific request to a first computer set, the first computer set including one or more service computer devices, where each service computer device of the first computer set executes first instructions associated with the first version of the Software-as-a-Service software application, and wherein execution of the first instructions by the first computer set provides the first service to the first recipient computer device.
