Abstract: A framework that provides for development and deployment of services that future-proofs application development efforts, avoids vendor “lock-in” at the PaaS level, and offers true portability of applications and services. Using the framework, developers write application code to a common API interface that connects to resources. The API interface obtains configuration data from a configuration provider that provides configuration data. The configuration data points to an implementation of the code that is bound at runtime. This results in a separation of the API from the configuration data. Using the framework, the application code is portable and can be moved from one framework to another so long each of the frameworks adhere to the common API interface. As such, application code may be written once and then implemented on one or more cloud-based infrastructures and/or within an on-premises data center.
