Reusable code management for improved deployment of application code

A method comprising:

• accessing application code stored in a code repository, wherein the code repository is configured to store application code, each entry of application code comprising instructions in a programming language for performing a computing task, wherein, for each entry of application code, the code repository further comprises:
• metadata indicating a purpose associated with the computing task performed by the application code, and
• a value corresponding to an amount of resources needed to use an entry of application code for performing the computing task, wherein the value is scaled according to the frequency of usage of deployed code, user characteristics associated with the deployed code and tasks performed using the deployed code;
• presenting a graphical user interface comprising fields for a selection of requested features of application code requested by a user;
• determining, based at least in part on the requested features selected in the graphical user interface, code requirements comprising attributes of application code needed to achieve the requested features;
• determining, based at least in part on the determined code requirements and metadata for each entry of application code stored in the code repository, one or more candidate application code entries that correspond to the requested features, wherein the one or more candidate application code entries are determined from the code repository;
• determining, for each candidate application code entry, the scaled values that correspond to an amount of resources needed to use the corresponding candidate application code entry for performing the computing task;
• determining available resources to perform the computing task;
• presenting the candidate application code entries for user selection in the graphical user interface;
• presenting the scaled values that correspond to the determined amount of resources for each candidate application code entry for the user selection of a candidate application code entry;
• providing the selected candidate application code entry as a selected application code to a computing device associated with the user to make changes to the selected application code;
• determining whether the changes to the selected application code improve the computing task;
• and
• in response to determining that the changes to the selected application code improve the computing task:
• adjusting the scaled values corresponding to resources required to use the selected application code;
• storing the changes to the selected application code and scaled values as an optimized application code in the code repository;
• and
• presenting the optimized application code and scaled values to users associated with computing devices.

A system comprising:

• a memory operable to store instructions for presenting a graphical user interface to a user;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to:
• access application code stored in a code repository, wherein the code repository is configured to store application code, each entry of application code comprising instructions in a programming language for performing a computing task, wherein, for each entry of application code, the code repository further comprises:
• metadata indicating a purpose associated with the computing task performed by the application code, and
• a value corresponding to an amount of resources needed to use an entry of application code for performing the computing task, wherein the value is scaled according to the frequency of usage of deployed code, user characteristics associated with the deployed code and tasks performed using the deployed code;
• present the graphical user interface comprising fields for a selection of requested features of application code requested by the user;
• determine, based at least in part on the requested features selected in the graphical user interface, code requirements comprising attributes of application code needed to achieve the requested features;
• determine, based at least in part on the determined code requirements and metadata for each entry of application code stored in the code repository, one or more candidate application code entries that correspond to the requested features, wherein the one or more candidate application code entries are determined from the code repository;
• determine, for each candidate application code entry, the scaled values that correspond to an amount of resources needed to use the corresponding candidate application code entry for performing the computing task;
• determine available resources that are associated with the system to perform the computing task;
• present the scaled values that correspond to the candidate application code entries for user selection in the graphical user interface;
• present the determined amount of resources for each candidate application code entry for the user selection of a candidate application code entry;
• provide the selected candidate application code entry as a selected application code to a computing device associated with the user to make changes to the selected application code;
• determine whether the changes to the selected application code improve the computing task;
• and
• in response to determining that the changes to the selected application code improve the computing task:
• adjust the scaled values corresponding to resources required to use the selected application code;
• store the changes to the selected application code and scaled values as an optimized application code in the code repository;
• and
• present the optimized application code and scaled values to users associated with computing devices.
