A computer-implemented method includes obtaining a usecase specification and a usecase runtime specification corresponding to the usecase. The usecase includes a plurality of applications each being associated with a micro-service providing a corresponding functionality within the usecase for performing a task. The method further includes managing execution of the usecase within a runtime system based on the usecase and usecase runtime specifications to perform the task by serving an on-demand query and dynamically scaling resources based on the on-demand query, including using a batch helper server to employ the usecase specification to load dynamic application instances and connect the dynamic application instances to existing instances, and employ a batch helper configuration to load nodes/machines for execution of the on-demand query.
