A platform executing on a computer system identifies a capability to be used by an application based on an application descriptor for the application and determines a component that provides the capability based on a component descriptor of the component. The platform identifies an additional capability to be used by the component based on the component descriptor and determines an additional component that provides the additional capability. The platform determines that the application descriptor further specifies that the application will use the additional capability provided by the additional component and determines that a single instance of the additional component will provide the additional capability to both the application and the component. The platform then groups the application, component, and additional component for deployment based on constraints associated with the application, component, and additional component.

Configuration of an application in a computing platform

Upon receiving application code and an application descriptor of an application, a platform executing on a computer system identifies a capability to be used by the application based on the application descriptor. The platform determines a component that provides the capability based on a component descriptor of the component. The platform then configures the application and the component for execution on the platform.

A computing device detects an event generated by a first component that publishes a connection endpoint, the event indicating that the connection endpoint of the first component has been modified. The computing device determines a second component that subscribes to the connection endpoint. The computing device updates a location of the connection endpoint in a data structure associated with the second component to maintain a connection between the first component and the second component.

Connection management for an application in a computing platform

An execution environment provides a plurality of components that support execution of an application, wherein the plurality of components and the application are hosted by a plurality of nodes arranged in one or more clusters. The execution environment monitors runtime behavior of the application and the plurality of components, and generates a scaling event based on a comparison of the runtime behavior to one or more scaling policies. The execution environment automatically scales at least one of the application or a component of the plurality of components if the scaling event does not violate a constraint, wherein the scaling comprises adding a new node to at least one cluster of the one or more clusters or removing a node from at least one cluster of the one or more clusters based on the scaling event.
