The user notification is transmitted to the user device that has been determined to be in active use.

Abstract: In some database systems, multiple servers may be deployed with different configurations based on stacks, applications, or services associated with the servers. Such systems may perform server validations to determine whether the servers are deployed with the correct configurations. A testing server may validate one or more target servers using metadata and parameters of the target servers. The testing server may receive parameters corresponding to a configuration file, and the testing server may select a subset of validation routines to perform for each target server based on metadata in the configuration file. In this way, the testing server may perform the same validation process for each target server, but may perform a different subset of validation routines. The testing server may execute code containing the selected subset of validation routines remotely against the target server, and may determine whether the server was configured correctly.

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.

Abstract: A system creates a graph of nodes connected by arcs, and identifies a first compound attribute associated with contacts purchased by a current user. The first compound attribute includes a first attribute associated with a first value and a second attribute associated with a second value. The system identifies a directed arc from a first node to a second node. The directed arc is associated with a probability that previous users who purchased a first contact associated with the first compound attribute also purchased a second contact associated with a second compound attribute. The second compound attribute includes the first attribute, associated with a third value which matches the first value, and the second attribute, associated with a fourth value, which lacks a match with the second value. The system outputs a recommendation for the current user to purchase contacts associated with the second compound attribute if the probability exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of database systems, methods, and computer program products for processing log files. In some implementations, a server of a database system accesses a metadata file indicating algorithms that can be applied to data of log files.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for user authentication are described. A user may attempt an authentication procedure when accessing an application or cloud platform. When the user requests access to the application or cloud platform, a server may determine one or more unique identifiers to display at a first application for the user, and the user may select one of the unique identifiers. The server may then display unique identifiers (e.g., in some cases, the same unique identifiers) at a second application associated with the user. The user may verify that the selected unique identifier is displayed on the second application, and may select the same unique identifier in the second application. Additionally, the user may input a user-specific identifier to confirm their identity. The server may authenticate the user's identity if the user selected matching unique identifiers, and if the user-specific identifier matches an expected identifier for the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing a point-in-time restore of data of a first tenant of a multitenanted database system. Metadata can be located to identify an archival version of first data of the first tenant stored in immutable storage of the database system. The archival version includes a most recently committed version of each datum prior to a first point in time. By using the metadata, a restore reference set is mapped into a target database instance of the database system. The mapping can be performed when all existing data for a tenant is to be the archival version, and where versions of data and records committed after the point in time are not available to the target database instance.

The tool set creates bug report stubs from a tag exception and accepts additional comments from the expert to include in a completed bug report, regarding the key name that triggered the exception; is configurable to generate sanitization correction files using the received key names and edited translatable text for processing by a developer; and includes a verification-in-context tool that supports debugging of a language pack.

Abstract: A database system may implement communications language queries to query data based on relationships between communications. A user may input a communications language query, and may process the query at a user device or at a database server. In some cases, the database server may process the query based on a periodic or event-based trigger. Processing the query may involve identifying one or more sets of communication events based on the type of communication event or a property of the communication event (e.g., referred to as a moment or score), as well as a temporal, user, or geographic relationship between the sets of communication events. The user device or database server may return a timestamp of a communication event, moment, or score, a number of occurrences of communication events, moments, or scores, or a Boolean value indicating whether a particular communication event, moment, or score exists to the user.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multi-tenant workflow processing are described. In some cases, a cloud platform may utilize a set of pre-defined batch processes (e.g., workflow templates) and tenant-specific configurations for instantiating and executing tenant-specific batch processes for each tenant of a user. As such, the cloud platform may utilize common data process workflows for each tenant, where a configuration specifies tenant-specific information for the common data process workflows. The workflow templates may include a set of job definitions (e.g., actions for a server to execute) and a schedule defining the frequency for running the templates for a specific project. The configurations may indicate a tenant to execute the workflow templates for, and may include tenant-specific information to override default template information.

Abstract: An application server sends a public key from an asynchronous key-pair to a user system to encrypt a user encryption secret that forms part of a first encryption key. The application server uses a second encryption key provided by a key derivation server to encrypt a private key from the asynchronous key-pair. The application server then deletes the second encryption key to prevent decryption of the user encryption secret received from the user system. The application server receives the encrypted user encryption secret from the user system and sends a request to the key derivation server to re-encrypt the user encryption secret. The key derivation server uses a key encryption secret to generate the second encryption key and decrypt the private key. The key derivation server uses the decrypted private key to decrypt the user encryption secret and then re-encrypts the first encryption secret to prevent decryption by the application server.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for application-specific session authentication are described. In some systems, a host server may authenticate a single-page application utilizing token-based verification. For example, a user device running the single-page application embedded within a container webpage may transmit a resource request including a session-identifying token to the host server. The host server may identify whether the session-identifying token is included in the resource request from the single-page application in order to determine whether to grant resource access for the request. If the request includes the token, the host server may determine that the request is from the single-page application, and may transmit the requested resources to the user device to load or update the embedded application.
