  • Publication number: 20240089349
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for enabling an application developer to define CDN behavior (e.g., caching rules) alongside an application program code and embedded in the same source code. The systems and methods can be used to define CDN or edge caching behavior using custom cache keys that go beyond simply using a URL. The custom cache keys and source code CDN behavior definitions can be used to enable a graphical user interface to specify traffic rules in a codeless interface. The described embodiments can be used for defining general traffic routing, to test different versions of the application or to otherwise present different versions of the application to end users, while preserving cache keys and caching behavior at the edge and throughout the application distribution layers.

  • Patent number: 11916729
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing automated configuration of a content delivery network. First, the system maintains access to one or more edge servers for a CDN, with the edge servers being configured to execute edge logic. The system receives code for an application in a specified application framework recognized by the system, where the code includes a set of routing and caching logic with routing instructions and routing behaviors. The system then analyzes the set of routing and caching logic to define a set of edge routing behaviors and caching behaviors for one or more routes within the application. The system then determines at least a subset of the routing and caching behaviors that can be processed at the one or more edge servers using the edge logic.

  • Publication number: 20220295117
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing unified routing and caching logic for applications utilizing a CDN. First, the system maintains access to one or more edge servers for a CDN, with the one or more edge servers being configured to execute edge logic. The system receives code for an application in a specified application framework, with the code and/or application framework including a unified set of routing and caching logic for dynamic data to be applied to a number of caches, and with the unified set of routing and caching logic being derived from a centralized definition. For each of the caches, the system first analyzes the set of routing and caching logic to determine a subset of the routing and caching logic to be executed by the cache, and then atomically sends the determined subset of the routing and caching logic to the cache.

  • Patent number: 10860163
    Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a computer-implemented method may include receiving a query for information from a data set, wherein the query, regardless of any specific syntax with which the query is defined, can be represented logically by a query graph having a plurality of vertices, wherein at least a first vertex includes a first variable that can be used to select a first subset of records within the data set that correspond to a value of the first variable. The method may also include generating, by at least one processor of a computing system, a browsable user interface to select information in the data set based on the vertices of the query graph, the browsable user interface including a first parameter node corresponding to the first vertex, wherein selection of the first parameter node displays a plurality of first value nodes representing different subsets of records that correspond to different values of the first variable of the first vertex.

  • Patent number: 9798748
    Abstract: A schema parser may determine one or more datasets of a database schema, wherein the datasets include one or more fields from a data source and represents data corresponding to the one or more fields. An input handler may receive a selection of one or more of the datasets via an interface. A translation engine may provide operations for refining the data of the selected datasets into a result set via a query, wherein the operations may be determined based on metadata defining relationships amongst the data sources and fields. A query engine may provide a graphical query including operational flow indicators indicating a directional flow of the query from the selected datasets with the selected operation to the result set.
