Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide for source code management for a multi-tenant Platform-as-Service (PaaS) system. A method of the disclosure includes creating, by a processing device of a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) system, a first container to host a first source code management repository for an application; receiving, at the first container, source code associated with the application; creating, by the processing device, a second container to provide deployment functionality for the application, the second container comprising resource-constrained processing space of a node of the PaaS system to execute functionality of the application; and deploying, by the processing device, the source code on the PaaS system using the second container. Aspects of the disclosure may be implemented using high-availability (HA) clusters by replicating the SCM container(s). Aspects of the disclosure may provide users with cost-effective, scaled, and secure PaaS services using reduced infrastructure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, from a client device of a user associated with an application, an indication that a source code management platform has been designated to host a first remote source code management repository for the application running on a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) system, wherein the indication is in view of a modification to the application and comprises identifying information associated with the source code management platform;
associating the first remote source code management repository with the application running on the PaaS system;
creating, by a processing device of the PaaS system, a first container to host the first source code management repository for the application running on the PaaS system, the first container comprising a resource-constrained processing space of a first node of the PaaS system to execute functionality of the application, wherein creating the first container comprises deploying an image of an executable application to implement source code management functionality;
receiving, from a local source code management repository on a client layer of the PaaS system at the first container, a first source code associated with the application;
in response to receiving the first source code, creating, by the processing device, a second container to provide deployment functionality for the application, the second container comprising a resource-constrained processing space of a second node of the PaaS system to execute functionality of the application;
creating a third container;
deploying, by the processing device, an image of the application in the third container in view of the deployment functionality for the application in the second container by converting the first source code associated with the application into a build result, wherein the build result is prepared for distribution as a deployment artifact, and wherein the creating of the third container is in view of the deployment artifact; and
responsive to deploying the image of the application in the third container, removing the second container.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first node is different from the second node.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deployment artifact comprises an image created from the first source code.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a second source code from a second source code management repository that is external to the PaaS; and
deploying the second source code on the PaaS system using the second container.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing, by the processing device, functionality of a plurality of applications on the first node of the PaaS system, wherein the plurality of applications are associated with a plurality of users.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the indication that the source code management platform has been designated to host the first remote source code management repository for the application running on the PaaS system by the user associated with the application comprises:
providing a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of systems to host the first source code management repository, wherein the plurality of systems comprises the source code management platform; and
receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of the source code management platform by the user associated with the application running on the PaaS system.

7. A system, comprising:
a memory; and
a processing device communicably coupled to the memory to:
receive, from a client device of a user associated with an application, an indication that a source code management platform has been designated to host a first remote source code management repository for the application running on a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) system, wherein the indication is in view of a modification to the application and comprises identifying information associated with the source code management platform;
associate the first remote source code management repository with the application running on the PaaS system;
create a first container to host the first source code management repository for an application running on the PaaS system, wherein the first container comprises a resource-constrained processing space of a first node of the PaaS system to execute functionality of the application, wherein creating the first container comprises deploying an image of an executable application to implement source code management functionality;
receive, from a local source code management repository on a client layer of the PaaS system at the first container, a first source code associated with the application;
in response to receiving the first source code, create a second container to provide deployment functionality for the application, the second container comprising a resource-constrained processing space of a second node of the PaaS system to execute functionality of the application;
create a third container;
deploy an image of the application in the third container in view of the deployment functionality for the application in the second container by converting the first source code associated with the application into a build result, wherein the build result is prepared for distribution as a deployment artifact, and wherein the creating of the third container is in view of the deployment artifact; and
responsive to deploying the image of the application in the third container, remove the second container.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the first node is different from the second node.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the deployment artifact comprises an image created from the first source code.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further to:
receive a second source code from a second source code management repository that is external to the PaaS; and
deploy the second source code using the second container.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further to execute functionality of a plurality of applications on the first node of the PaaS system, wherein the plurality of applications are associated with a plurality of users.

12. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions that, when accessed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
receive, from a client device of a user associated with an application, an indication that a source code management platform has been designated to host a first remote source code management repository for the application running on a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) system, wherein the indication is in view of a modification to the application and comprises identifying information associated with the source code management platform;
associate the first remote source code management repository with the application running on the PaaS system;
create, by the processing device, a first container to host the first source code management repository for an application running on the PaaS system, the first container comprising a resource-constrained processing space of a first node of the PaaS system to execute functionality of the application, wherein creating the first container comprises deploying an image of an executable application to implement source code management functionality;
receive, from a local source code management repository on a client layer of the PaaS system at the first container, a first source code associated with the application; and
in response to receiving the first source code, create a second container to provide deployment functionality for the application, the second container comprising a resource-con
