Rule-based assignment of event-driven application

A computing apparatus, the computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
• automatically analyze application source code of an event-driven application, using one or more processors, to identify relationships between a plurality of event-driven application components;
• and
• apply, using the one or more processors, a set of rules to:
• based on the automatic analysis, generate assignment data recording assignments of event-driven application components to a plurality of computational nodes in a distributed computing environment;
• and
• determine component requirements for each of the plurality of event-driven application components required to support execution at an assigned computational node in the distributed computing environment.

A computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• automatically analyze application source code of an event-driven application, using one or more processors, to identify relationships between a plurality of event-driven application components;
• and
• apply, using the one or more processors, a set of rules to:
• based on the automatic analysis, generate assignment data recording assignments of event-driven application components to a plurality of computational nodes in a distributed computing environment;
• and
• determine component requirements for each of the plurality of event-driven application components required to support execution at an assigned computational node in the distributed computing environment.
