Methods and systems for managing application performance in a distributed computing environment. Embodiments commence when an application seeks to perform a function over a content object. The application submits a request to perform the function on the content object, and the request is received by an application programming interface processor. The application programming interface processor accesses a data structure comprising entries that relate the requested function to one or more code instances that are accessible at one or more code locations. An evaluator predicts performance of the function using a first location of a first code instance and compares that predicted performance to a predicted or measured performance of the same function using a second location of a second code instance that implements the same function. The better performing code instance at the determined code location is invoked. Results are collated, formatted, and returned to the calling application.

Dynamic code component deployment in cloud-based service platforms

Systems for managing user-level security in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is configured to interface with storage devices that store objects that are accessible over a network by two or more users. An enterprise entity is identified using an enterprise identifier associated with the enterprise, and an application service is associated with an application identifier. An application service request comprising a user identifier and the application identifier is received, and authentication is determined based on the combination of the user identifier and a pre-authenticated application identifier. Once the application service request is authenticated, then specific aspects of the service request are authorized. The integrity of the application identifier is confirmed by locating a secure association of the given application identifier to a pre-shared enterprise identifier. Logging, auditing and other functions can be performed at the user level using the user identifier for user-level tracking.

Accessing a cloud-based service platform using enterprise application authentication

A cloud-based platform (e.g., cloud-based collaboration and/or storage platform/service) is described that provides advanced control tools for administrators of an enterprise account. The advanced control tools permit the administrator to set mobile security settings for mobile devices running applications that allow a user to access enterprise data in the cloud-based platform; activity notification archiving; support for multiple email domains; automation processes; and policies. The settings selected by the administrator are applied enterprise-wide within the cloud-based platform.
