Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided that enable the automated deployment of microservices to a network-accessible server set. The automated deployment may be based on constraint(s) that are specified by a declarative deployment model that is associated with the microservice to be deployed. For example, a centralized deployment orchestrator may receive microservice(s) and their associated declarative deployment model(s). The deployment orchestrator analyzes the declarative deployment model(s) and determines which microservice(s) are to be deployed based on the constraint(s) specified by the declarative deployment model(s). The foregoing techniques advantageously determine when to deploy microservice(s), while also minimizing human intervention typically required to deploy microservice(s). Moreover, by controlling when certain microservice(s) are deployed and/or which microservice(s) are deployed, deployed microservice(s) that function incorrectly and/or cause at least a portion of the network-accessible computing environment to malfunction can be easily identified.
