Techniques for enabling notification from a network resource are described. In at least some embodiments, a user subscribes to receive notifications from a network resource, such as a website, a web-based resource, and so forth. The network resource can provide notifications to a client device of the user, such as a push notification indicating that content is available from the network resource. Based on the push notification, content from the network resource can be presented on the client device, such as in a notification indicator presented on the client device and associated with the network resource.

In one embodiment, a metric collection system may collect application metrics across multiple data centers in specific time intervals. A local collection pointmay establish an absolute reference time for a local data center. The local collection pointmay determine a source reporting interval for an applicationbased on the absolute reference time. The local collection pointmay receive a source metric reportfor the applicationbased on the source reporting interval.

Distributed aggregation of real-time metrics for large scale distributed systems

Techniques for enabling a push notification from a website are described. In at least some embodiments, a push notification generally represents a way for a website to push information to a client device. For instance, a push notification may include content (e.g., text, images, video, audio, and so forth) that a website pushes to a client device. The content can be output via the client device, e.g., independently of an output of the website itself. According to one or more embodiments, a push notification channel is generated that enables notifications to be pushed from a website to a client device. Generally, a push notification channel represents a set of attributes and procedures that enable notifications to be securely and accurately pushed from a website to a client device.

The automated validation of one or more test cases in a validation pass. The validation pass is enabled using a plurality of scenario runners, which are executable components that respond to instructions to run one or more scenarios of a validation pass by beginning to run through such scenarios during the validation pass. The validation pass may be associated with a maximum time such that upper limits on how long the scenario runners may run is set. This likewise limits the time it takes to validate the results of the scenario. The scenario runners provide events that occur during the running of their respective scenarios into an event collector. The events of the validation pass may then be evaluated against one or more test cases to determine whether or not the events have a state indicative of a success or failure of each test cases.
