Reusable application configuration with dynamic resource determination

A computer program product encoded on a non-transitory, tangible storage medium, the product comprising computer readable instructions for causing one or more computers to perform operations for providing deploying an application across a distributed network environment, the operations comprising:

• receiving, at a server and from a client device, a first request including an identifier of a configuration file accessible to the server and one or more identifiers for one or more resources operated by a remote resource server, wherein the resources are requested by an application executed on the client device;
• in response to the request, retrieving, by the server, one or more tokens associated with the requested resources;
• transmitting, by the server, a second request to the remote resource server, the second request including the tokens and identifying one or more data processing tasks to be performed by the resources for the application;
• and
• receiving, by the server and from the remote resource server, result data that was outputted by the resources executing the data processing tasks.

A system for providing an application across a distributed network environment, the system comprising:

• a server;
• and
• a processor-readable medium coupled to the server having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the server, cause the server to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at the server and from a client device, a first request including an identifier of a configuration file accessible to the server and one or more identifiers for one or more resources operated by a remote resource server, wherein the resources are requested by an application executed on the client device;
• in response to the request, retrieving, by the server, one or more tokens associated with the requested resources;
• transmitting, by the server, a second request to the remote resource server, the second request including the tokens and identifying one or more data processing tasks to be performed by the resources for the application;
• and
• receiving, by the server and from the remote resource server, result data that was outputted by the resources executing the data processing tasks.
