Abstract

A computing platform may receive a primary model corresponding to one or more features of an application. The computing platform may populate, using a processing engine and based on the primary model, a secondary model indicating an object definition corresponding to the one or more features. The computing platform may generate, using a pre-deployment engine and based on the primary model, a script corresponding to the one or more features. The computing platform may generate one or more commands directing a production server to execute, in a production environment, the script corresponding to the one or more features. The computing platform may transmit, to the production server and via the communication interface, the one or more commands directing the production server to execute the script. The computing platform may receive, based on the one or more commands, an error corresponding to the one or more features.
