A method for a distributed deployment includes selecting a first feature module of an application to be deployed where the application includes multiple feature modules. A second feature module of an application to be deployed is selected. A first server and a second server to which to deploy the first selected feature module and the second selected feature module, respectively, are selected. A first archive file and a second archive file for the first selected feature module and the second selected feature module, respectively, are generated using deployment information, a deployment template for the application, and at least one feature module file. The first archive file contains a feature module not contained in the second archive file.
