The invention provides a gray level publishing method and equipment. The gray level publishing method comprises the following steps: according to the execution progress of the gray level publishing task of each server and the distribution batch of each gray level publishing task, selecting an optimal task execution path from all candidate task execution paths as revised metadata, and sending the optimal task execution path to a corresponding server. By use of the gray level publishing method, an effect that a plurality of task execution paths can simultaneously and concurrently carry out gray level publishing, i.e., a new gray level publishing request can be added when one or a plurality of gray level publishing tasks are executed can be realized, the optimal task execution path can be selected according to the distribution batch, meanwhile, tasks are free from mutual interference, and distribution configuration speed is greatly improved.
