Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to caching web application data. In some embodiments, a computing system maintains a multi-tenant database and an in-memory cache for the database. In some embodiments, the computing system is configured to store data in an entry in response to a store request and retrieve data in response to a read request. In various embodiments, data cached by one tenant is not visible to other tenants. The cache may be partitioned and each partition may have an assigned capacity. The computing system may be configured to evict cached data based on capacity thresholds, least-recently-used information, time-to-live information, amount of data in an entry, etc. The cache may indicate misses when requested data is not present. Various disclosed techniques may improve web application performance while maintaining privacy between tenants.

Abstract: A messaging system implements messaging among application servers and databases, utilizing other servers that implement messaging brokers. A large flood of incoming messages can bring down messaging brokers by overflowing the message queues, negatively impacting performance of the overall system. This disclosure in some embodiments detects and identifies “flooders” in a timely manner and isolates their message traffic to dedicated queues to avoid impacting other system users. Subsequently, a preferred system de-allocates the queues and returns the messaging system to normal operation when flooding conditions subside, and “sweeps” up any remaining orphan messages.

Abstract: To deliver up-to-date, coherent user data to applications upon request, the disclosed technology includes systems and methods for caching data and metadata after it has been synchronously loaded—for future retrieval with a page load time close to zero milliseconds. To provide this experience, data needs to be stored as locally to a user as possible, in the cache on the local device or in an edge cache located geographically nearby, for use in responding to requests. Applications which maintain caches of API results can be notified of their invalidation, and can detect the invalidation, propagate the invalidation to any further client tiers with the appropriate derivative type mapping, and refresh their cached values so that clients need not synchronously make the API requests again—ensuring that the client has access to the most up-to-date copy of data as inexpensively as possible—in terms of bandwidth and latency.
