Abstract: Systems or techniques are provided for facilitating desktop-to-cloud application migration. In various embodiments, a system can access a desktop application. In various aspects, the system can deploy the desktop application in a cloud computing environment, based on generating a nested model-view-presenter software architecture that treats the desktop application as an outer data model. In various instances, the cloud computing environment can comprise a server device and a client device, wherein the server device can host the desktop application and a portion of an outer presenter, and wherein the client device can host another portion of the outer presenter and an outer view. In various cases, the outer view can comprise an inner view, an inner presenter, and a lite version of the desktop application.
