  • Patent number: 11966725
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to reduce the time required to terminate a set of microservices for an application while ensuring high availability and preventing request failures. This is accomplished through a termination manager which retrieves request queues for the microservices to analyze outstanding requests that require processing prior to termination. Based on the outstanding requests, the termination manager constructs call graphs for each request. The call graphs capture the operational flow of the associated request by defining a sequence of microservices whose functionality is invoked by the request. From an initial analysis, the termination manager can determine that some of the microservices do not appear in the call graphs, indicating that the microservices are not needed to process the outstanding requests. Accordingly, the unneeded microservices are terminated.

  • Patent number: 11941379
    Abstract: A system performs static program analysis with artifact reuse. The system identifies artifacts associated with the software program being analyzed. The system processes the identified artifacts for performing static program analysis and transmits either the artifacts or identifiers for the artifacts to a second processing device for performing program analysis. The second processing device receives the artifacts and uses the received identifiers to retrieve the artifacts from a networked storage system. The second device also retrieves stored summaries of previous program analysis from the networked storage system. The program analysis uses the retrieved artifacts to generate work units for static program analysis. The analysis is performed only for those work units that are determined to remain unchanged from previous static program analysis cycles.

  • Patent number: 11922146
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology empower business domain experts to create “no-code” enterprise applications with a variety of features (e.g., workflow, multi-currency, etc.). By using the tools of various embodiments, the domain expert just has to know the business and not how to code in order to create enterprise applications. In some embodiments, the domain expert can access a tool that allows the domain expert to convey intent and desires instead of providing code. The intent and desire of the domain expert can then be abstracted, translated, and stored as a metadata representation. The metadata representation can then be used to automatically generate appropriate code artifacts for the applications. The code artifacts can include snippets of code written in a variety of languages. These code artifacts can then be wrapped, using a runtime engine for example, to create the application which can be distributed to the end-users.

  • Patent number: 11829745
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for enriching the capabilities of an API management product by deploying an augmented circuit breaker policy at an API gateway to automate regression analysis. Based on the augmented circuit breaker policy, the API gateway may perform curative remedies when a triggering condition occurs, e.g. rolling back the software release or alerting administrators. In one use case, the augmented circuit break policy may mitigate the damage of a faulty software release by programmatically directing all requests received at the API gateway to a stable version of the API. The benefits may be extended by using machine learning to train normality models on the typical behavior of a particular API. A user may then configure an augmented circuit breaker policy to perform a programmatic rollback when the API gateway recognizes conditions that diverge from normal behavior.
