US Patent 11397620 Deployment of event-driven application in an IoT environment

A method to deploy a plurality of event-driven application components of an event-driven application in a distributed computing environment is described. The method includes automatically analyzing application source code of the event-driven application, using one or more processors, to identify relationships between the plurality of event-driven application components. Thereafter, a set of rules are applied to, based on the automatic analysis, generate assignment data recording assignments of event-driven application components to a plurality of computational nodes in the distributed computing environment. The set of rules is also applied to determine component requirements for each of the plurality of event-driven application components required to support execution at an assigned computational node in the distributed computing environment.
