Automated backward-compatible function updates

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage devices storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• identifying a function to be executed by an application on a post-update application development platform, the post-update application development platform having been updated from a pre-update application development platform using an update, the update specifying at least one new result associated with execution of the function on the post-update application development platform;
• determining that the function to be executed was available to be executed on the pre-update application development platform, wherein a result associated with execution of the function on the pre-update application development platform is different from the at least one new result;
• and
• providing a notification including a link that, when selected by a user, redirects the user to a webpage producing the result associated with execution of the function on the pre-update application development platform.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a function to be executed by an application on a post-update application development platform, the post-update application development platform having been updated from a pre-update application development platform;
• determining that the function was developed for execution on the pre-update application development platform;
• based on determining that the function was developed for execution on the pre-update application development platform:
• identifying one or more definitions of a version of the function configured to be executed on the post-update application development platform;
• and
• updating a function repository of the post-update application development platform to include the one or more definitions of the version of the function.
