The present approaches generally relate to the encryption of data within a database in such a way that the encrypted data may still be easily accessed and utilized by an application. The present approach provides the ability to encrypt and decrypt data at an application layer though the data remains in an encrypted state at the database layer and when in transit.

Database encryption

A node of an application instance in a distributed computing environment can be selectively hibernated and the execution of the node selectively restarted by first detecting a condition of the node that satisfies a criterion for hibernating the node. The node may then be hibernated by suspending execution of the node on a server and initiating execution of a listener. The listener can use a network port that the node used before the execution of the node was suspended. At a later time, a request from a client to the application instance can be received by the listener. The request can be a request to restart execution of the node. Responsive to the request and a determination that the server has a predefined amount of resources for permitting execution of the node, the execution of the node on the server can be restarted.
