Dynamic application decomposition for execution in a computing environment

A method comprising:

• executing a portion of an application program in a first virtual computing element, wherein the application program comprises one or more portions of marked code;
• invoking a request for execution of a select portion of the one or more portions of marked code;
• intercepting the request with an interceptor module associated with the select portion of marked code;
• sending, by the interceptor module, a query to a controller module to decide whether to execute the portion of marked code identified in the request in the first virtual computing element or in the second virtual computing element;
• and
• causing, by the interceptor module, the select portion of marked code identified in the request to be executed in the second virtual computing element, when it is decided by the controller module to execute the select portion of marked code in the second virtual computing element;
• wherein the steps are performed by at least one processing platform comprising one or more processing devices, the one or more processing devices including the controller module and the interceptor module.

An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device to perform steps of:

• executing a portion of an application program in a first virtual computing element, wherein the application program comprises one or more portions of marked code;
• invoking a request for execution of a select portion of the one or more portions of marked code;
• intercepting the request with an interceptor module associated with the select portion of marked code;
• sending, by the interceptor module, a query to a controller module to decide whether to execute the portion of marked code identified in the request in the first virtual computing element or in the second virtual computing element;
• and
• causing, by the interceptor module, the select portion of marked code identified in the request to be executed in the second virtual computing element, when it is decided by the controller module to execute the select portion of marked code in the second virtual computing element;
• wherein the at least one processing device comprises the controller module and the interceptor module.
