  • Patent number: 11914986
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for self-paced migration of an application programming language (API) gateway. An embodiment operates by applying a policy chain comprising a first set of policies to an API request received at a first API gateway. The embodiment forwards the API request to a second API gateway and applies, at the second gateway, a virtual policy chain comprising a second set of policies to the API request. The embodiment then forwards the API request to the first API gateway and routes the API request to a corresponding backend API.

  • Patent number: 11907732
    Abstract: A system can host APIs for a plurality of different tenants and receive requests from many different client devices. As requests are received, an associated tenant can be identified, and a router can determine if a container instance is available to service the request. A container instance may be an empty container instance including an internal endpoint, a Web server, and a runtime environment. An empty container instance can be unassociated with a particular tenant. To associate a container instance with a tenant, a data store, such as a key-value data store can retrieve configuration files that turn the agnostic container instance into a container instance that is associated with particular tenant and includes configuration code to perform the requisite API functions. The pool of empty and populated containers can be managed efficiently.

  • Patent number: 11875202
    Abstract: An approach to generating end-to-end visualizations of invocations from coarse granular application programming interface (API) requests within a containerized environment may be presented. A coarse-granular API request may be intercepted. The coarse-granular API request may receive a unique identifier, which will be assigned to all invocations associated with the coarse-granular API request. Any invocations associated with the coarse-granular API within the containerized environment may be monitored. Detected invocations resulting from the coarse-granular API request may be annotated with a sequence number and the unique ID of the associated coarse-granular API request. An invocation flow for the coarse-granular API request may be generated based on the unique ID, relationship between the invocations and microservices, and the sequence number of the invocations.

  • Patent number: 11829784
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are directed at systems, methods, and architecture for providing execution order and execution for plugins installed on an API gateway associated with a microservices application. In application architectures where features of microservices are implemented as plugins and migrated to an API gateway, the relevant APIs are able to be built lighter weight than otherwise. However, the migration of the features to plugins introduces the potential for error states in the microservice application. To resolve the potential issues, the API gateway takes into consideration a set of native instructions in each of the plugins to determine the execution order thereof. The execution order is determined dynamically in response to requests by the APIs of the microservice application.

  • Patent number: 11829814
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for resolving data location for queries in a multi-system instance landscape. One example method includes receiving a request for data for at least one entity that includes a qualified identifier that includes a system tenant qualifier and a local identifier. The system tenant qualifier identifies a system tenant in a multi-system tenant landscape and the local identifier identifies an entity instance of an entity in the system tenant. A routing policy table configured for the multi-system tenant landscape is identified and a cell is located in the routing policy table that corresponds to the entity and the system tenant. A routing policy is determined for routing the request based on the cell. The routing policy is used to determine a target system tenant to which to route the request and the request is provided to the target system tenant.

  • Patent number: 11822942
    Abstract: A system determines that resource activity notifications, including at least a first notification and a second notification, are to be sent to a client device operated by a user. The first notification includes a first user interface element, and the second notification includes a second user interface element. The system determines, based on content of the resource activity notifications, that a subset of the resource activity notifications are contextually related, the subset including at least the first notification and the second notification. The system provides the first subset of the resource activity notifications to the client device as a first group, thus enabling the user to operate a user interface of the client device to select the first user interface element to take a first action and to select the second user interface element to take a second action.

  • Patent number: 11809922
    Abstract: Disclosed is an execution information sharing system that duplicates execution information to a provider target (and other targets) as it is being loaded to a consumer target. A consumer account of a data sharing platform executes an application shared with it by a provider account of the platform. Consumer and provider configurations indicating consumer and provider targets respectively are generated. The consumer configuration and provider configurations are provided to an event context to generate a first and second event unloaders respectively, wherein the event context maintains a mapping linking both the first event unloader and the second event unloader to the application. In response to receiving execution information from the application, the first event unloader and the second event unloader are retrieved. The execution information is then written to the consumer target and the provider target using the first event unloader and the second event unloader respectively.
