Abstract: A method of supporting an integrated development environment at a client device is provided. A request to access a network development platform is received at a server from a client device. The request includes an application identifier of an application to develop and an object identifier of an object associated with the application. Confirmation that an instance of a programmatic interface to a persistent storage associated with the application is executing at the server is performed using the application identifier. A service instance associated with the object is identified using the object identifier. The service instance is configured to modify a user interface of the client device to present the object. The identified service instance is sent to the client device.
