As part of our ongoing effort to follow OutSystems best‑practice architecture, we have restructured our application landscape to clearly separate business logic from front‑end applications. While this approach improves modularity and maintainability, these applications still have interdependencies, which we group and manage as a logical Suite.

When deploying to another environment using Lifetime, all module dependencies are automatically validated and republished as needed, and we are proactively notified of any breaking changes across dependent applications. This capability significantly reduces deployment risk and ensures consistency across the suite.

It would be extremely valuable to have a comparable feature in Lifetime that allows us to publish a Deployment Plan within the same environment, while still performing full dependency validation. Ideally, this process would identify broken dependencies, prompt corrective action, and automatically republish all dependent applications as required.

Implementing this capability would result in substantial time savings for developers. Today, deploying changes within the same environment often requires manually opening and publishing multiple modules in the correct order, with limited validation feedback and a high risk of human error. A unified, dependency‑aware deployment mechanism would both streamline this process and strengthen application stability.

While we have implemented a workaround using Solutions in Service Center, it does not provide the same level of validation and dependency checks that Lifetime performs during cross‑environment deployments. Closing this gap would significantly improve deployment efficiency, reduce rework, and enhance overall application dependency management.
