Abstract: A system and method for providing a decentralized software development environment for function-based executable applications are described. The system includes a serverless environment core including a user interface providing a plurality of representations of building-block functions configured to be linked as dependencies to form a function-based executable application. The building-block functions are provided as remote template files called and instantiated by the environment core as required when the executable application is run and wherein the template files are provided in decentralized storage and the instances run in a distributed system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented low-code development platform is provided including a user interface and having access to a library of step macros configured for user configuration and interconnection via the user interface to generate executable code. Each step macro includes a step configuration generator and an execution code generator. The step configuration generator is configured to generate a step configuration file based on user-configurable data points configurable via the user interface. The execution code generator is configured to generate executable code in the form of a compiled step file configured for storage in memory and execution by a processor of a computing system. The execution code generator receives and inputs the step configuration file into a metaprogramming component configured to interpret the user-configurable data points of the step configuration file and to generate and output the compiled step file.
