Abstract

Systems and techniques for ordering deployment of artifacts to a database include collecting predecessor node information for nodes in a dependency graph. The dependency graph includes available edges connecting the nodes of the dependency graph, where each node in the dependency graph represents at least one artifact. A data structure contained within each of the nodes is populated with the predecessor node information. Successor node information is determined using the predecessor node information and an updated dependency graph is created by adding additional edges to the dependency graph using the predecessor node information in the data structure within each of the nodes and the successor node information. The artifacts are ordered for deployment to the database using the updated dependency graph.
