US Patent 10437585 Managing highly scalable continuous delivery pipelines

Systems and methods are provided for managing and tracking process pipelines and other flows in a way that reduces the requirement for a central controlling process to manage every step of the associated pipeline flow and the state associated with each running instance. Job information and pipeline state are tracked by each worker involved in the pipeline. This enables some key capabilities within these process pipelines such as dynamic process re-writing and cross security domain job execution.
