Abstract:
1. A method for implementing a web site update, the web site being available via a plurality of servers, the method comprising: at a database, establishing a first application programming interface referencing a set of data stored at the database, wherein the set of data is in a first format, and wherein the first application programming interface uses a first code release to access the set of data in the first format; at the database, configuring a first synonym to cause a processor to refer inbound transaction requests arriving at the database to the first application programming interface; splitting the plurality of servers into a first subset of the plurality of servers and a second subset of the plurality of servers, including: privately updating the website through the second subset of the plurality of servers while the website traffic is redirected to the live cluster, including: at the database, establishing a second application programming interface referencing the set of data stored at the database, wherein the second application programming interface uses the second code release; at the database, configuring a second synonym to cause a processor to refer inbound transaction requests arriving at the database to the second application programming interface; and re-enabling public access to the second subset of the plurality of servers.
