Application Deployment on Multiple Platforms

An article comprising a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a processor to:

• in response to a receipt of a deployment indication, determine a current lifecycle stage of a first application, wherein the first application is defined by a first application model specifying a first communication protocol;
• identify, from a plurality of infrastructure models, a first infrastructure model based on a current lifecycle stage of the first application;
• initiate a first application environment using the first application model and the first infrastructure model;
• and
• deploy the first application on the first application environment, wherein the deployed first application includes a communication component associated with the first communication protocol.

A computer implemented method comprising:

• receiving an indication to deploy a first application, wherein the first application is defined by a first application model including a first generic component and a first protocol;
• in response to a receipt of the indication, determining a current lifecycle stage of the first application;
• selecting, from a plurality of infrastructure models, a first infrastructure model based on the current lifecycle stage of the first application;
• initiating a first application environment based on the selected first infrastructure model and the first communication protocol specified in the first application model;
• and
• deploying the first application on the first application environment based on the first application model.
