Desktop-to-cloud application migration

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• accessing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a desktop application;
• generating, by the system, a nested model-view-presenter software architecture;
• and
• deploying, by the system, the desktop application in a cloud computing environment, based on generating the nested model-view-presenter software architecture that treats the desktop application as an outer data model, wherein the cloud computing environment comprises a server device and a client device, wherein the server device hosts the desktop application and a portion of an outer presenter, wherein the client device hosts another portion of the outer presenter and an outer view, and wherein the outer view comprises an inner view, an inner presenter, and a lite version of the desktop application.

A computer program product for facilitating desktop-to-cloud application migration, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable memory having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• access a computer program;
• identify, via code compilation or syntactic parsing facilitated by one or more first preprocessor directives, a tree hierarchy of the computer program;
• and
• deploy the computer program in a nested model-view-presenter software architecture that is derived, via code introspection and data type association facilitated by one or more second preprocessor directives, from the tree hierarchy of the computer program, wherein the nested model-view-presenter software architecture comprises:
• the computer program and a portion of an outer presenter hosted by a server device;
• and
• a remaining portion of the outer presenter and an outer view hosted by a client device, wherein the outer view comprises an inner view, an inner presenter, and a lite version of the computer program.
