1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a server, user input defining an objective from a client device coupled to a network, wherein the user input is indicative of a new functionality to be added to a virtual application;
obtaining, at the server, metadata associated with an identifier associated with the virtual application from a database system;
analyzing, at the server, the objective and the metadata to identify a solution for achieving the new functionality within the virtual application;
providing, by the server, a graphical user interface display including a graphical indication of the solution; and
in response to selection of the graphical indication of the solution within the graphical user interface display, updating the database system to implement the solution.
