Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for mapping application dependencies. Mapping application dependencies can include defining an application model with a number of application dependencies that enables an application to run and defining a platform model that defines a number of capabilities that are provided by a server. Mapping application dependencies can also include creating a topology model that maps the application model to the platform model at runtime by mapping the number of application dependencies to the number of capabilities while the application remains independent from the server.
