Methods and systems for status determination are disclosed. A computing device may determine a status of the computing device or another computing device. One or more actions may be taken based on the status of the computing device or the another computing device.

Methods and systems for status determination

Methods and systems for managing a queue are disclosed. In one aspect, an example method can comprise accessing at least a portion of a queue comprising a plurality of tasks. Each task of the plurality of tasks can be associated with a property, and the property associated with each task can comprise a respective value. An exclusion value can be determined based on a distribution of the respective values. A group of tasks that comprises respective values of the property that do not match the exclusion value can be selected from the queue, and the selected group of tasks can be processed.

Managing fairness in task bundling of a queue

Methods and systems for status determination are disclosed. A computing device may determine a status of the computing device or another computing device. The status may be based on operational data. One or more actions may be taken based on the status of the computing device or the another computing device. For example, at least one computing task may be performed based on the status.

Methods and systems for communication management are disclosed. A computing device may receive a computing request. The computing device may determine a timeout parameter associated with the computing request. A notification may be sent if the timeout parameter is predicted to be exceeded or if the timeout parameter is exceeded.

Methods and systems for communication management

Methods and systems for status determination are disclosed. Operational status of a node can be considered based on operational rates of a plurality of nodes in a system. An example method can comprise determining a first operational rate of a first node and determining a second operational rate of a second node. A difference between the first operational rate and the second operational rate can be analyzed. For example, the difference can be compared to a threshold to determine an operational status of the first node. If the difference is above the threshold, the operational status can be given a first value, but if the difference is below the threshold, the operational status can be given a second value. The operational status can be sent to a load balancer.

Methods and systems for communication management are disclosed. Services and/or clients in a system can specify or determine timeout parameters in communication requests. A timeout parameter can be a time allocated to process a request and/or fulfill a task associated with a request. Tasks can be delegated to other devices or services, and the tasks can be sent with additional timeout parameters based on the first timeout parameter. A notification can be sent when a time to process a request or fulfill a task is predicted to exceed one or more of the timeout parameters.
