System and method for connector development and integration channel development

摘要

Independent Software Vendors ISVs develop, support, execute, and sell cloud applications. Cloud Service Broker Platforms (CSBs) provide partially-automated delivery of integrated cloud applications from different ISVs. Integration of ISV software requires special integration components such as connector packages and connector backends. Development of such components can be time consuming and expensive. The present disclosure relates to a system and method for allowing connector developers to decrease the cost of developing connector package and connector backends by allowing deployment and configuration of web services automatically and also allows support for scalability and zero-downtime upgrades out of the box, by the use of an automated authoring tool that generates connector packages from archetypes created by the CSB.
