Systems and methods for detecting behavioral features of software application deployments for automated deployment management

A system for monitoring and analyzing a deployment of a software application is disclosed. The system includes a monitoring component that collects streams of data values of time-variant state metrics associated with the deployment, and a feature detector that analyzes the streams to identify features known to be associated with potential problems. Detected features can include deviations of a signal from a normalcy band, a rising or descending trend in signal behavior, deviations from seasonal or cyclical normalcy bands, and the like.
