Various techniques and mechanisms for sharing remote resources among a trusted group are disclosed. A credential management agent utilizes a resource credential for a first user to access a secure resource corresponding to the first user for a second user by at least validating a second user and validating a consent of the first user to allow the second user to access the secure resource using the resource credential for the first user. The secure resource resides on a remote server system accessible via one or more application program interfaces (APIs). A platform management agent provides an interface for shared resource-agnostic credential sharing. The platform management agent validates credentials for the second user as belonging to a trusted group and forwards a request for access to the secure resource for the second user to the credential management agent. In response to receiving the resource credential for the first user to access the secure resource, the platform management agent accesses the secure resource on behalf of the second user to allow the second user to utilize the secure resource.

Techniques and mechanisms for ingesting data through an atomic transaction are disclosed. Raw data is received from multiple disparate sources to be consumed in an environment that does not support atomic write operations to data consumers. The environment has at least a data table and a notification table. A write to an entry in the data table having an associated version is attempted. The data table entry corresponds to the data to be consumed. A write to a corresponding entry to the notification table is attempted in response to a successful write attempt to the data table. The notification table entry includes information about the corresponding data table entry. The version associated with the data table is modified in response to successful writes of both the data table entry and the notification table entry. At least one data consumer is notified that the data table version has been modified.

Managing mutations in a data lake environment. A mutation request to cause write operations that modify data objects or structures within an environment for collecting unformatted raw data is received. The environment has at least a data table and a notification table. An entry is written to the data table with a streaming job configured to receive and process the mutation request. Entries to the data table specify at least records indicating changes to objects in the environment based on ingestion processing for the environment for collecting unformatted raw data and based on the mutation request. A corresponding entry is written to the notification table in response to a successful write attempt to the data table. The notification table entry has information about data table entries for a specified period. At least one data consumer is notified that the data table has been modified.
