Execution of client code in a shared infrastructure comprises instantiating a container manager to manage containers and routers configured to receive calls requesting execution of the client code. The container manager pre-initializes a plurality of containers and registered the containers in a database to indicate that the plurality of containers are available. A router receives a call to execute the client code and selects an available first container identified in the database. The call is routed to the selected container and the status of the container is updated to in-use to prevent another router from selecting the container. Responsive to the selected container processing the call, the router receives a response from the container and returns the response to the caller. The containers then marked for deletion in the database. The container manager then deletes any of the containers marked for deletion to prevent the containers from processing subsequent calls.

Technologies are provided for a cloud computing platform (CCP) to request a transaction via a third-party vendor and receive a transaction response result of that transaction from another cloud computing platform having a serverless capability such that at least part of the transaction occurs at the other cloud computing platform. A transaction request having a specific transaction type (TT) is sent to an adapter, which sends another call with the transaction request to the public cloud. The specific TT corresponds to a particular serverless function (SF) of the third-party vendor. A particular template t corresponds to the specific TT. The particular template is a code statement that follows a standard code definition written in the proprietary programming language of the CCP. The other cloud computing platform invokes the particular SF to generate a transaction response that is consumable by the CCP.

Transaction system having a serverless architecture that provides multi-language multi-platform transaction support for multiple vendors in conjunction with a cloud-based computing platform

A request for a transaction between a client system and a server system may be processed. The transaction may be associated with transmission of data between the client system and the server system. The data may be encrypted using a transient encryption key to form encrypted data. The transient encryption key may be a synced-clock random number configured to automatically change when a designated time interval elapses. The encrypted data may be transmitted between the client system and the server system.

A self-healing build pipeline architecture for a software application build job across a distributed computer platform comprises a public API that receives configuration data describing the build job, stores the configuration data in a decentralized database, serves requests to/from a pipeline tracker API, and stores states of build pipelines during the build job. The decentralized database stores the configuration data and a project identifier for the build, and metadata regarding states of the build pipelines collected across the distributed computer platform. The pipeline tracker API runs local to the build environment in the distributed computer platform and sends a build status to public API for updating the decentralized database. For any failures in any of the build pipelines, the state is retrieved from the decentralize database and a new build pipeline is triggered locally that resumes from the failed state to provide a self-healing build pipeline architecture.

Methods, and apparatuses are provided for access limitations to a network in a session using a formatted web token. The method includes: formatting a web token by a schema to create a formatted web token for user access to the network; receiving a log-in request for the user access to the network server via an app hosted by a computing device remotely located to the network server; in response to receipt of a user access request, creating the session by the network server with network limitations for user access to data and resources of the network; passing the formatted web token to a client for enabling user access to the data and resources of the network; decoding payload data of the formatted web token at the client to authenticate the user access; and enabling the client with access limitations based on decoded payload data.

Optimizing transaction times for distributed databases is described. A system receives a request which specifies an identifier of a database record associated with a distributed database. If the request is associated with a primary database of the distributed database, any user-defined function is associated with the database record in the primary database, and any associated user-defined function does not require any call that is external to a subnet and/or a firewall associated with the primary database, then the system executes, within the subnet and/or the firewall associated with the primary database, each associated user-defined function for the database record in the primary database. The system outputs a result which is based on executing any associated user-defined functions.

Methods and systems are described for using cache objects to store events for adding corresponding objects in a blockchain. In one implementation, a first cache object is identified. The cache object stores events published responsive to updates, insertions, or deletions of records in a database object. An identifier for the cache object is based on a time window with which the cache object is associated, and an identifier for the database object. Events are retrieved from a cache that includes the cache object, based on the identifier for the cache object. The events were stored in the cache object during the time window. A block is added to a blockchain. The block's payload includes objects corresponding to a subset of the events.

A computing device includes a memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The memory contains machine readable medium storing machine executable code which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: identify a service provider providing services or information to at least one of a plurality of organizations having access to a multi-tenant database system provided by a first party; establish an account for the service provider at a hosted service system, the hosted service system provided by a third party that is different from the first party providing the multi-tenant database system, the account for maintaining access credentials for the at least one of the plurality of organizations to the service provider's services or information, wherein the access credentials are not maintained at the multi-tenant database system; and using the credentials, authenticate the at least one of a plurality of organizations for access to the service provider's services or information through the multi-tenant database system. In some embodiments, the one or more processors create login credentials for the account and transmit the login credentials to the service provider so that the service provider may access the account.

A method for accessing a virtual personal assistant has been developed. First, a trust relationship is established between a primary smart speaker device that allows a user to access the virtual personal assistant with voice commands and a separate secondary smart speaker device. A trust relationship is established by generating a request at the secondary smart speaker device to allow access the virtual personal assistant with voice print authentication from the user and then validating the request at the primary smart speaker device to confirm the authenticity of the request. Next, a voice input is received from the user at the secondary smart speaker device requesting access to the virtual personal assistant. The identity of the user is verified using voice print identification with the secondary smart speaker device. Access for the user is then granted to the virtual personal assistant using the secondary smart speaker device.

Cache optimization for missing data is provided. A database system receives a first request for a database record. The database system determines whether the database record is stored in a cache. The database system determines whether the database record is stored in a data store in response to a determination that the database record is not stored in the cache. The database system stores a dummy entry for the database record in the cache in response to a determination that the database record is not stored in the data store. The database system receives a second request for the database record. The database system determines whether the database record is stored in the cache. The database system outputs an indication that the database record is unavailable in response to a determination that the dummy entry stored for the database record is in the cache.

Integrating third-party vendors' APIs is described. A system identifies a current call from a client computing system to an API associated with a third-party vendor, the current call including a configuration file for calling the API. The system determines whether a previous call was made to the API. The system determines whether part of the configuration file in the current call matches a corresponding part of a configuration file in the previous call, in response to a determination that a previous call was made to the API. The system uses a previously parsed configuration set, associated with the part of the configuration file in the current call, to configure a request in the current call and/or a response to the current call, in response to a determination that the configuration file in the current call matches the configuration file in the previous call.

Integrating third-party vendors' APIs

Managing authorization tokens for calling third-party vendors is described. A system identifies a current call from a client computing system to an API associated with a third-party vendor, the call including a configuration file for calling the API. The system determines, in response to a determination that a previous call was made to the API, whether a previous call was made to the API and whether a part of the configuration file in the current call matches a corresponding configuration file in the previous call. The system enables the API to authorize the current call by sending a copy of a previous authorization token to the client computing system, in response to a determination that the part of the configuration file in the current call matches the corresponding part of the configuration file in the previous call, the previous authorization being previously received from the API for the previous call.
