Operation requests received from a tenant are added to a tenant-specific queue. A tenant scheduling work item is added to an execution queue that is shared with other tenants. When the tenant scheduling work item is executed, it copies up to a defined number of scheduled operations from the tenant-specific queue to the execution queue. The tenant-scheduling work item then re-adds itself to the execution queue. While the operations are executed and before the tenant scheduling work item is executed again, other tenants have an opportunity to queue their own operations. The tenant scheduling work item selects scheduled operations from the tenant-specific queue in the order they were originally requested until one of several conditions is met. Conditions may be based on how many operations are in progress, what kind of operations are in progress, and/or dependencies between operations of different types.

Workflow-based scheduling and batching in multi-tenant distributed systems

Technologies are disclosed for resource mapping during URL changes in multi-tenant distributed computing systems. The distributed computing system may resolve a URL by using a tenant and/or site name extracted from the URL to retrieve an entry in a site map table. The entry includes an address to a database that contains the requested content. After a tenant or site name has been changed, or if the tenant or site have been moved, the distributed computing system will resolve pre-existing URLs to the old entry, resulting in a file not found error. In some embodiments, during an operation that changes a tenant or site name, a redirect URL containing the new tenant and/or site name is added to the old entry. When a request addressed to a URL containing the old tenant and/or site names is received, the distributed system sends a redirect response that includes the redirect URL.
