In an approach, a processor, in response to detecting a new customer resource (CR) file: requests, the computing environment to deploy a plurality of function deployment components in the computing environment, where: the CR file indicates information of a plurality of functions of an application; the plurality of function deployment components request the computing environment to deploy a plurality of function components in the computing environment; and the plurality of function components execute the plurality of functions of the application; determines that each of the plurality of function components has been deployed in the computing environment; and in response to determining that each of the plurality of function components has been deployed in the computing environment, requests the computing environment to delete each of the plurality of deployed function deployment components.

Application updating in a computing environment using a function deployment component

A method, system and computer program product for processing messages sent to a recipient. The communication channel used to send the message is identified, where such a communication channel is not currently being used by the recipient. After identifying the communication channel(s) currently being used by the recipient, the contact information of users who have previously communicated with the recipient using the communication channel(s) currently being used by the recipient are analyzed. The message is then marked with the identity of the sender as well as the communication channel used by the sender after matching the contact information of the sender with the contact information of a user who had previously communicated with the recipient using the communication channel(s) currently being used by the recipient. The marked message is then sent to the recipient using a communication channel currently being used by the recipient.
