Visually depicting cloud resource utilization during execution of an application

An apparatus for visually depicting cloud resource utilization during execution of an application, the application using multiple cloud resources deployed on multiple cloud hosts, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:

• displaying, by a resource monitoring module in a graphical user interface, a visual depiction of resource utilization of the multiple cloud resources during execution of the application, the cloud resources comprising resources of a cloud computing environment implementing infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service;
• receiving, from a user through the graphical user interface displaying the visual depiction of resource utilization of the multiple cloud resources, a resource utilization threshold for each of the multiple cloud resources includes manipulating, by the user, a graphical element displayed in the graphical user interface that represents the resource utilization threshold for each of the multiple cloud resources by expanding or contracting the graphical element that represents the resource utilization threshold for each of the multiple cloud resources, wherein the graphical element is three-dimensional;
• stepping through a line of code in the application;
• updating the visual depiction of resource utilization of the multiple cloud resources based on the stepped through line of code in the application;
• determining, by the resource monitoring module, whether one or more of the resource utilization thresholds have been reached;
• and
• responsive to determining that one or more of the resource utilization thresholds have been reached, executing a predetermined action.
