Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating criteria-based cost-efficient routing and deployment of metadata packages in an on-demand services environment according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method comprises analyzing, by a metadata costing server computing device, characteristics of a metadata package awaiting deployment, where analyzing includes matching the characteristics with predefined criteria associated with deployment of metadata packages. The method may further include routing, by the metadata server, the metadata package for real-time deployment if the characteristics satisfy the criteria, where the real-time deployment allows for bypassing of message queues associated with standard deployment.

Abstract: A computer implemented masking manager provides a method for access controls. The method includes receiving a request for an object in a database, retrieving the object from the database, applying masking rules to a field of the object to determine whether the requestor has access to the field, determining a replacement value for the field based on requestor access to the field, and returning the object to the requestor with the replacement value in the field of the object.
