Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for upgrading software associated with an operational distributed, state-full system. In operation, an upgrade system identifies a software upgrade to perform to software associated with a distributed, state-full system. The upgrade system identifies a storage to allocate for performing the software upgrade. The upgrade system identifies one or more customer groups to utilize the software upgrade. The upgrade system identifies a temporary process failure group to utilize for real-time testing of the software upgrade, based on the identified one or more customer groups. The upgrade system removes responsibilities of event servers currently serving the one or more customer groups and moves the one or more customer groups to utilize the software upgrade operating on the temporary process failure group. Further, the upgrade system monitors operation of the software upgrade utilized by the one or more customer groups operating on the temporary process failure group to determine whether there are any issues associated with the software upgrade.
