On-Premises Code Management via Cloud Gateway
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a challenge in managing and integrating cloud SaaS solutions with on-premises server systems for source code management, particularly in maintaining control over code and documentation while utilizing cloud-based services.
Innovation Solution
The integration of on-premises server systems with cloud server systems is achieved through a networked environment where an on-premises server provides a document management service, including a source code management system like Git, and a cloud server system offers SaaS solutions, with proxy applications ensuring secure communication and user authentication, allowing for seamless access and management of code repositories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If cloud SaaS solutions are integrated with on-premises server systems for source code management, then access and management of code repositories becomes seamless and efficient, but control and security over code may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a gateway component that acts as an intermediary between the cloud SaaS platform and the on-premises source code management system. This gateway receives requests from the cloud platform, translates them into appropriate commands for the local system, and returns results while maintaining security boundaries. The gateway enables seamless access to code repositories through the cloud interface while preserving control and security through the local system architecture.
2Reliability
If on-premises server systems are used to maintain control over code, then security and control are ensured, but integration with cloud-based services becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into distinct functional components: the on-premises source code management system that maintains security and control, the cloud SaaS platform that provides user interface and collaboration features, and the gateway that handles communication between them. This segmentation allows each component to operate independently with clearly defined interfaces, simplifying integration while maintaining security requirements.
3Productivity
If cloud-based services are leveraged for workflow management and code review, then productivity and collaboration are improved, but dependency on external systems increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gateway serves as a mediator that enables the on-premises system to leverage cloud-based workflow management and code review capabilities while maintaining the option to operate independently. The gateway translates cloud platform commands into local system operations, allowing the organization to use cloud services when needed while retaining autonomy and adaptability to external system changes or outages.

AI summary
Described herein is a computer implemented method including a server system communicating identifier(s) identifying to a document management service of a second server system a portion of software code or other document parts. The identified code or document parts are communicated to a client system. A variation of or addition to the code or document is received from the client system and the server system communicates to the document management service the variation and the identifier(s).
