IDENTIFYING A CONFIGURATION FOR AN APPLICATION IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

Various embodiments of a computer-implemented method, computer system and computer program product provide a configuration recommendation. Request-processing performance data of an application is received. The request-processing performance data is collected by an application monitor during an execution of the application on a source hardware system. One or more request-processing performance measurements are determined based on the request-processing performance data. One or more target objectives of the application are received. An analytic engine is invoked to provide a configuration recommendation of a target hardware system on which to execute the application based on one or more request-processing performance measurements and one or more target objectives.
