Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for creating an application lifecycle management platform for big data applications. In one embodiment the lifecycle management platform can include a multiple-layer container file that integrates multiple big-data tools/platforms. The system may create a generic template application, create a build environment for the generic template application, create a test environment for the generic template application, and run the built generic template application in the test environment prior to the user writing any new code in the generic template application. In one embodiment, the test environment includes a container management system or virtual machine that launches the big data application (which may be the generic template application before a developer edits the file) on a separate big-data server cluster.

Abstract: A computing device saves storage space by foregoing writing the payloads for batches of feature files to local storage and then automatically downloading payloads for individual batches of feature files as associated features are called upon. In various embodiments, an operating system (OS) that includes both frequently used and infrequently used features is executing on the computing device. Batches of feature files for the frequently used features of the OS may be hydrated on the computing device whereas batches of feature files for the infrequently used features of the OS may be left dehydrated on the computing device. When an infrequently used feature is requested, the computing device automatically downloads a corresponding batch of feature files. Then, the computing device may fulfill the request by implementing the infrequently used feature. Thus, predetermined batches of feature files remain immediately accessible at the computing device without consuming storage space unless called upon.
