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 receives one or more software artifacts for enabling a software version change requested for a production environment associated with at least one data center location. The system stores the one or more software artifacts in a memory location of a controlled-access production repository. The system receives a first authorization determination of the one or more software artifacts from an author-user account, the author-user account associated with a developer identity that created the one or more software artifacts. The system receives a second authorization determination of the one or more software artifacts from an additional-user account. Based on the first and second authorization determinations, the system determines whether to package the one or more software artifacts into a manifest for transmission to the at least one data center location.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for updating a denormalized database object after updating, deleting, or inserting a record in a source database object are described. A first operation on a source database object that involves a record of the source database object being updated, deleted, or inserted is performed. A first part of a corresponding second operation involving a respective record of the denormalized database object being updated, deleted, or inserted is performed. A query result that references an aggregate field of a set of records in the denormalized database object is altered. The altering includes an aggregation operation using values in the query result being performed and altering that part of the query result that includes the aggregate field of the set of records. A second part is optionally performed to complete the corresponding second operation and update the denormalized database object.

Abstract: A system executes a set of database operations and determines counts of instances that each key is specified for a corresponding column by any database operations on a database table. The system identifies each key which is associated with any determined count that satisfies a threshold as a corresponding frequently accessed key. The system creates an optimized index for each column which stores any frequently accessed key. The system inserts each frequently accessed key into a corresponding optimized index. The system receives a database operation that specifies a specific key for a specific column in the database table. If any optimized index matches the specific column and stores any frequently accessed key that matches the specific key, then the system references a matching frequently accessed key in a matching optimized index to access a record, which is associated with the specific column and the specific key, via the database table.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to maintaining a cache usable to locate data stored in a data structure. A computer system, in various embodiments, maintains a data structure having a plurality of levels that store files for a database. The files may include one or more records that each have a key and corresponding data. The computer system may also maintain a cache for the database whose entries store, for a key, an indication of a location of a corresponding record in a file of the data structure. In some embodiments, the computer system receives a request to access a particular record stored in the data structure where the request specifies a key usable to locate the particular record. The computer system may retrieve, from the cache via the key, a particular indication of a location of the particular record and may use the particular indication to access the particular record.

Abstract: An online system that allows users to interact with it using expressions in natural language form includes an intent inference module allowing it to infer an intent represented by a user expression. The intent inference module has a set of possible intents, along with a small set of example natural language expressions known to represent that intent. When a user interacts with the system using a natural language expression for which the intent is not already known, the intent inference module applies a natural language inference model to compute scores indicating whether the user expression textually entails the various example natural language expressions. Based on the scores, the intent inference module determines an intent that is most applicable for the expression. If an intent cannot be determined with sufficient confidence, the intent inference module may further attempt to determine whether the various example natural language expressions textually entail the user expression.
