  • Patent number: 11206179
    Abstract: At least some embodiments are directed to a system that receives from an online portal loaded in a computing device, a user request to instantiate a server cluster in a hybrid computer network. The system authenticates and redirects the user request via a proxy service to a selected computer network configured in the hybrid computer network. The system instantiates the server cluster in the selected computer network causing the server cluster to initiate a microservice agent during bootup. The system sends a command to the server cluster to initiate the execution of a process and receives from the microservice agent event data associated with the process. The system inputs the event data into a trained machine learning model to determine a first execution state of the process and sends a command to change the first execution state of the process to a second execution state.

  • Patent number: 11200052
    Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for enforcing requirements that documentation be up to date. In response to initiation of a build process for an application, a source-code file associated with the application is evaluated to determine an identifier and a location for a corresponding documentation file. A determination can be made regarding whether the documentation file exists at the location. Another determination can be made regarding whether each function specified in the source-code file has a corresponding entry in the documentation file. The build process can be halted in response to determining that at least one function specified in the source-code file fails to have the corresponding entry in the documentation file. If the build process is halted, a message can be displayed on the computing device, the message identifying the at least one function specified in the source-code file that fails to have the corresponding entry in the documentation file.

  • Patent number: 11169959
    Abstract: A system may read source data corresponding to a source variable and apply a transformation to the source variable to generate an output variable. The transformation may include logic, and the output variable may be configured for ingestion into a big data storage format. The system may record lineage data of the output variable that comprises the transformation and/or the source variable. The system may also receive a request to generate a requested output variable. The requested output variable may be generated from a second transformation that is the same as the first transformation. The system may thus match the first transformation to the second transformation using the lineage data. In response to matching the first transformation to the second transformation, the system may deny the request. The original output variable may be returned in response to the matching the first transformation to the second transformation.
