Development and deployment of custom applications

A system comprising:

• one or more computers of a server system;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• storing, by the server system, configuration data that specifies a configuration of application elements, from among a predetermined set of application elements, to provide in a custom application;
• storing, by the server system, a repository of modules that are used to implement the respective application elements;
• receiving, by the server system, a request from a client device over a network;
• in response to receiving the request, generating, by the server system, user interface data for a view of the custom application, wherein the server system (i) identifies the configuration of the application elements for the custom application based on the configuration data for the custom application and (ii) generates the user interface data using modules from the repository that correspond to the application elements specified in the configuration data;
• and
• providing, by the server system, the user interface data for the custom application to the client device over the network in response to the request.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by one or more computers of a server system, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• storing, by the server system, configuration data that specifies a configuration of application elements, from among a predetermined set of application elements, to provide in a custom application;
• storing, by the server system, a repository of modules that are used to implement the respective application elements;
• receiving, by the server system, a request from a client device over a network;
• in response to receiving the request, generating, by the server system, user interface data for a view of the custom application, wherein the server system (i) identifies the configuration of the application elements for the custom application based on the configuration data for the custom application and (ii) generates the user interface data using modules from the repository that correspond to the application elements specified in the configuration data;
• and
• providing, by the server system, the user interface data for the custom application to the client device over the network in response to the request.
