Abstract

Techniques for function execution environment selection for a decomposed application are provided. In one example, an apparatus comprises at least one processing platform configured to execute a portion of an application program in a first virtual computing element, wherein the application program comprises one or more portions of marked code, receive a request for execution of one of the one or more portions of marked code, decide whether to execute the portion of marked code identified in the request in the first virtual computing element or in a second virtual computing element, determine an execution environment from one or more execution environments specified in the marked code for the second virtual computing element to execute the marked code, when it is decided to execute the portion of the marked code in the second virtual computing element, and cause the portion of marked code identified in the request to be executed.
