1. An information handling system comprising: one or more processors; a memory coupled to at least one of the processors; a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of: executing a software application, by at least one of the one or more processors, in a distributed runtime environment, wherein the software application is program code configured to execute in an isolated runtime environment and includes one or more isolated runtime constructs corresponding to the isolated runtime environment, the executing further comprising: determining a construct type of a selected one of the one or more isolated runtime constructs; in response to determining that the selected isolated runtime construct is a non-local variable runtime construct: selecting a distributed variable runtime construct that corresponds to the non-local variable runtime construct; and executing the selected distributed variable runtime construct in the distributed runtime environment in lieu of executing the non-local variable runtime construct; and in response to determining that the selected isolated runtime construct is a local data access runtime construct: identifying a distributed data access runtime construct that corresponds to the local data access runtime construct; and sending a message to a distributed database using the distributed data access runtime construct in lieu of executing the local data access runtime construct.
