In an embodiment, the disclosed technologies implement scaling operations for clusters of server nodes hosting stateful services. An embodiment includes a cluster manager computer calling a first instance of scaling status functions for a first stateful service and a second instance of scaling status functions for a second stateful service, the first stateful service being programmed to implement a different service than the second stateful service. The cluster manager computer is programmed to implement different scaling operations for the first stateful service and the second stateful service, each set of the scaling operations being optimized for respective services.

Scaling stateful services hosted in a cluster of server nodes

In an embodiment, a computer system comprises one or more computer processors configured with a message transfer application; a message transfer/vision processing (MT/VP) interface coupled to the one or more computer processors and interposed between the message transfer application and a vision processing computer, wherein the MT/VP interface performs operations comprising: extracting risk indicator data from a message that is in transit to a recipient computer on a computer network; in response to the risk indicator data matching a message risk criterion, transmitting an image address for an image of interest coupled to the message or the image of interest to the vision processing computer; receiving, from the vision processing computer, a label that semantically describes visual content of the image of interest; using the label, querying a set of correlation data to determine a reference address that is associated with the label; in response to the image address matching the reference address, transmitting the message to the recipient computer; in response to the image address not matching the reference address, modifying, delaying or blocking the transmitting of the message to the recipient computer.

Systems and methods for providing an improvement to computer security relating to electronic digital messages are provided. In an embodiment, a computing device receives an electronic digital message that is sent to a receiving account. The computing device identifies a sending account associated with the electronic digital message and from which the electronic digital message was sent. The computing device obtains metadata relating to the sending account, the metadata including received message data that is related to a number of messages that have been received by the sending account. The computing device determines that the sending account satisfies a received message criteria based, at least in part, on the received message data and, in response, performs a responsive action relating to the electronic digital message.
