Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided that implement application programming interfaces (APIs) that can be executed synchronously or asynchronously depending on the expected response time of the API, the status of the API and/or systems that implement the API, the identity and/or type of user making a request via the API, historical requirements or operation of the API, and/or other factors.

Abstract: A server system is communicatively connected to a plurality of computing devices and one or more databases. The server system receives one or more queries from a computing device. The one or more queries specify a data source. The server system determines a level of security applicable to a user of the computing device. The server system translates the one or more queries into one or more logical queries according to semantics of the data source, and transmits the logical queries to a query pipeline of the server system. The server system executes the one or more queries against a first database of the one or more databases to retrieve query results from the data source. The server system applies the determined level of security to the query results to obtain one or more data sets, and returns the one or more data sets to the computing device.

Abstract: Example embodiments are disclosed where a narrative generation platform is integrated with a conversational interface such as a Chatbot to support interactive and dynamic narrative generation in response to speech inputs from users. Such a system can be further integrated with a visualization platform to allow the speech input through the conversational interface to interactively and dynamically focus and control visualizations and/or narratives that accompany the visualizations.

Abstract: Techniques for caching for an application executable on a mobile device, where the application has a user interface that includes a set of templates specifying data fields that reference record data from a database. The application is executable when the mobile device is online to communicate with an application server to access sufficient record data to fully render templates for those portions of the user interface selected by a user. The set of caching operations can include a record caching operation that caches records according to a default and/or custom set of rules for all versions of the application; a template caching operation that causes selected template data to be cached; and a template-record caching operation that causes a set of record data to be cached such that templates for the cached selected template data will fully render offline for a specified set of records.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for implementing variable a declarative authentication engine. The system generates a schema that includes a field and has a format defined by an authentication protocol associated with a service. The system then validates a connection request based on comparing the field of the generated schema to a field of the connection request for the service, wherein the connection request is formatted according to the schema and received from a client device. The system then provides the client device access to the service according to the connection request based on a result of the validating.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for backing up environments. One of the methods includes maintaining, for a cloud computing environment, first data that indicates one or more previously active sandbox environments; determining second data that indicates one or more most recently active sandbox environments; determining, using the second data, a newly added sandbox environment; determining, using a first identifier for the newly added sandbox environment and a second identifier for a prior sandbox environment from the one or more previously active sandbox environments, whether the newly added sandbox environment is likely a refresh of the prior sandbox environment; and performing one or more actions for the newly added sandbox environment using a result of the determination whether the newly added sandbox environment is likely a refresh of the prior sandbox environment.

Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are provided for screen sharing. A user may initiate a video recording. A recording preview interface may be displayed for the user to preview the video recording before beginning the recording. The recording preview interface may comprise a live video preview of the user and of a window or application being shared. When the user selects a window or application for previewing that may cause an infinity mirror effect to occur, a screenshot of the window or application may be generated. The screenshot may be rendered over the live video preview of the window or application to obscure the infinity mirror effect. When the user initiates recording, the screenshot may be removed to expose the live video. The screenshot may be cached and retrieved if the user navigates away and then returns to the preview of the window or application causing the infinity mirror effect.

Abstract: The system performs optimized upgrades for datacenters configured on a cloud platform. The optimized upgrade process combines upgrades of operating system and services on a node of a cluster of machines of the cloud platform. The system detects a service version change and operating system version change. If the system detects the version change for both a service and the operating system for a node, the system orchestrates the upgrade process for both service and operating system at the same time. The system restarts the node and service once the upgrade completes. This reduces the multiple restarts of the node/services thereby improving the availability of the system for clients.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A group-based communication system may use machine learning techniques to classify teams of the system, determine discount messaging for teams of the system, or both. The group-based communication system may receive concurrency data for a team of users and may input the concurrency data (e.g., with one or more other features associated with the team) into a machine learning model to generate a classifier for the team. The classifier may indicate whether the team is a work team, an educational team, or a social team. Based on the classifier for the team, the system may send a message to at least one user of the team (e.g., an administrative user). In some examples, the system may use another machine learning model to generate a discount message for sending to the at least one user based on the team classifier.
