AUTOMATED DEPLOYMENT TOOL FOR MULTIPLE SERVER ENVIRONMENT

A method is described for deploying a software application to run on each server in a group of servers configured to provide a service based on the software application. A dashboard, as a unified user interface for all of the servers of the group, is presented on a user terminal device. One or more user inputs via the dashboard automatically initiate parallel processing with respect to all of the servers of the group. The automate processing include: (i) backing up current server application code for the service, for each of the servers of the group; (ii) installing a new server application code file, for the software application, in each of the servers of the group; and (iii) restarting each server to implement the service by running the software application from the new server application code file.
