Aspects of the disclosure relate to managing code origination data for a distributed computing environment having a set of compute nodes which includes a first compute node. A first set of code origination data which corresponds to a first computing object may be detected for utilization to develop a distributed application in the distributed computing environment. Using the first set of code origination data, the first compute node may be identified to host the first computing object for the distributed application. The first computing object may be deployed to the first compute node to develop the distributed application.
