Abstract

Systems, methods and techniques relating to managing execution of applications in a runtime environment are described. A described technique includes identifying logic for executing an application code, identifying a first portion of the application code associated with the identified logic and executed by a first runtime container, identifying a second portion of the application code associated with the identified logic, determining, based on a policy or a characteristic associated with the application code, a second runtime container to execute the second portion of the application code, and dispatching a request and the identified logic to the second runtime container for executing the second portion of the application code.

Claims (46)

1 . A method comprising:

identifying logic for executing an application code;

identifying a first portion of the application code associated with the identified logic and executed by a first runtime container;

identifying a second portion of the application code associated with the identified logic;

determining, based on a policy or a characteristic associated with the application code, a second runtime container to execute the second portion of the application code; and

dispatching a request and the identified logic to the second runtime container for executing the second portion of the application code.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first runtime container and the second runtime container are the same.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the application code is identified based on a data dependency of the first portion of the application code included in compile-time information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the application code is stored in a repository that is communicably coupled to at least one of the first runtime container, or the second runtime container.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first runtime container and the second runtime container is associated with at least one of a client device, an application server, a database, a web service, a computer, a user interface, or a virtual machine.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the logic includes at least one of a business logic, a computation logic, a validation logic, an execution logic, or a client logic.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy includes at least one of a security policy, an administrative policy, a service policy, or a business policy.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic is at least one of a characteristic of the application code, or a characteristic of an application that corresponds to the application code.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic is a capability characteristic, and wherein the capability characteristic is associated with at least one of a capability for executing the second portion of the application code by the first runtime container, or a capability for executing the second portion of the application code by the second runtime container.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the characteristic is a latency characteristic, and wherein the latency characteristic is associated with at least one of a time for executing the second portion of the application code by the first runtime container, or a time for executing the second portion of the application code by the second runtime container.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a third portion of the application code associated with the identified logic;

determining, based on the policy or the characteristic associated with the application code, a third runtime container to execute the third portion of the application code; and

dispatching a request and the identified logic to the third runtime container for executing the third portion of the application code.

12 . A computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions embodied on tangible, non-transient media, the computer program product operable when executed to perform operations including:

identifying logic for executing an application code;

identifying a first portion of the application code associated with the identified logic and executed by a first runtime container;

identifying a second portion of the application code associated with the identified logic;

determining, based on a policy or a characteristic associated with the application code, a second runtime container to execute the second portion of the application code; and

dispatching a request and the identified logic to the second runtime container for executing the second portion of the application code.

13 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the first runtime container and the second runtime container are the same.

14 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the second portion of the application code is identified based on a data dependency of the first portion of the application code included in compile-time information.

15 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the application code is stored in a repository that is communicably coupled to at least one of the first runtime container, or the second runtime container.

16 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein each of the first runtime container and the second runtime container is associated with at least one of a client device, an application server, a database, a web service, a computer, a user interface, or a virtual machine.

17 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the logic includes at least one of a business logic, a computation logic, a validation logic, an execution logic, or a client logic.

18 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the policy includes at least one of a security policy, an administrative policy, a service policy, or a business policy.

19 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the characteristic is at least one of a characteristic of the application code, or a characteristic of an application that corresponds to the application code.

20 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the characteristic is a capability characteristic, and wherein the capability characteristic is associated with at least one of a capability for executing the second portion of the application code by the first runtime container, or a capability for executing the second portion of the application code by the second runtime container.

21 . The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the characteristic is a latency characteristic, and wherein the latency characteristic is associated with at least one of a time for executing the second portion of the application code by the first runtime container, or a time for executing the second portion of the application code by the second runtime container.

22 . The computer program product of claim 12 , further comprising:

identifying a third portion of the application code associated with the identified logic;

determining, based on the policy or the characteristic associated with the application code, a third runtime container to execute the third portion of the application code; and

dispatching a request and the identified logic to the third runtime container for executing the third portion of the application code.

23 . A system comprising:

a run-time container; and

a processor, operable to cause the run-time container to:

identify logic for executing an application code;

identify a first portion of the application code associated with the identified logic and executed by a first runtime container;

identify a second portion of the application code associated with the identified logic;

determine, based on a policy or a characteristic associated with the application code, a second runtime container to execute the second portion of the application code; and

dispatch a request and the identified logic to the second runtime container for executing the second portion of the application code.
