Programming model migration tool
Briefly, embodiments of a system, method, and article for receiving a user input requesting that an initial application container compatible with a first programming model be modified to generate an adjusted application container compatible with a second programming model. The second programming model is different from the first programming model. A first set of development artifacts may be determined for the initial application container. A first subset of the first set of development artifacts may be automatically adjusted to enable compatibility with the second programming model. automatically generate One or more behavior definitions associated with the automatically adjusted first subset may be automatically generated. The adjusted application container comprising the initial application container and the one or more behavior definitions may be generated.
