Techniques are described herein that are capable of modeling a lifetime of a hybrid software application using an application manifest. For instance, workflows and input-output information may be received (e.g., from an independent software vendor). The workflows are configured to implement respective heterogeneous software products that are included in a hybrid software application. The input-output information specifies inputs of the heterogeneous software products and a mapping between output(s) of first heterogeneous software product(s) and input(s) of second heterogeneous software product(s). Operations that are to be performed to execute the workflows are determined based at least in part on the inputs and the mapping. A lifetime of the hybrid software application is modeled by generating an application manifest that defines the lifetime based at least in part on the operations.
