Techniques are disclosed relating to installing and operating applications in a server-based application workspace. A computer system, while operating the server-based application workspace, may store subscription information indicating a user that is a developer for a particular application package, and one or more users that are subscribers for the particular application package. The computer system may further store lock data for the particular application package that indicates user permissions to edit at least one application component for the particular application package. Based on the lock data, the computer system may permit the developer to edit the at least one application component of the particular application package, and deny requests from the one or more users to edit the at least one application component.

Restricting access and edit permissions of metadata

Techniques are disclosed relating to database techniques for storing metadata for web applications. In some embodiments, a server computer system may operate a platform for executing one or more application modules that utilize one or more application components to implement an application. The server computer system may generate a first set of values indicative of versions of a first set of application modules specified by an application package stored on the server computer system for implementing the application. The server computer system may determine a second set of values indicative of versions of a second set of application modules specified by an updated application package for an upgrade of the application. The server computer system disables application components associated with application modules specified in the first, but not the second, set of values.

Version management automation and consistent application builds for different target systems

A method and system for deploying a function in a polyglot serverless elastic runtime execution environment includes receiving function code via a development environment, combining the function code with middleware layers for polyglot serverless elastic runtime execution environment to form an executable function for the polyglot serverless elastic runtime execution environment, and deploying the executable function to the polyglot serverless elastic runtime execution environment.

Metadata driven serverless functions in a multitenant environment

Techniques and structures to provide smart packaging in a database environment. A package and a set of customizations corresponding to the package are detected. The package with the set of customizations are bundled to form an additive package such that the additive package provides for the set of customizations to remain bonded with the package throughout one or more processes including testing, deploying, and/or updating of the package.

Additive packaging through smart wrapping of packages and customizations in an on-demand environment

A method for securely sharing a common software package includes storing, within a database, a set of software packages associated with a first namespace, then storing, within the database, a common software package associated with the set of software packages. The common software package is obfuscated and includes an access modifier. A request to install a first software package selected from the set of software packages associated with the namespace is received by a subscriber. In response to the request from the subscriber, the system installs the first software package and the common software package in accordance with the access modifier.

Managing the sharing of common library packages with subscribers

Techniques are disclosed relating to database techniques for storing metadata for web applications. In some embodiments, manageable state information indicates whether certain entities (e.g., developers or subscribers) are allowed to edit particular fields (e.g., upon installing a version of an application package or when updating a package to a new version). In some embodiments, the manageable state information is stored separately from the corresponding metadata, which may avoid a need to query the metadata to determine manageable state and may allow validation of manageable state rules upon insertion of metadata into a new organization. In some embodiments, a short-lived build organization may facilitate validation of updates to web application packages.

Maintaining manageability state information distinct from managed metadata

A system is disclosed that enables users to share product-related information across web pages. The system includes a client that executes on a user computer. The client interacts with a data server to provide user access to product-related information associated with products represented on web pages accessed by the user. The product-related information may include information submitted by other users via other instances of the client.

Service for enabling users to share information regarding products represented on web pages

A client executes in conjunction with a web browser on a user computer. The client interacts with a data server to provide user access to product-related information associated with products represented on web pages accessed by the web browser. The product-related information may include information submitted by other users via other instances of the client, such that users share product-related information across web pages.
