Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting data processing are described. In some systems, a user device may leverage a single flow execution (SFE) service for an application including a flow. A connector may retrieve one or more messages using a polling source, and a processing component may process a single message of the retrieved messages (e.g., to avoid processing complexity and error propagation associated with batch or periodic polling). The processing component may disable the connector upon retrieving at least one message and may execute the flow for the deployed application on the single message of the retrieved message, for example, based on an indication to run the SFE. Upon completion of executing the flow on the message, the processing component may store, at a collector, information related to the flow execution and may undeploy the application from a runtime engine instance based on completing the SFE for the application.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein transforms a complex and usually unstructured table to a relational table based on the header pattern. Specifically, the original complex table is expanded into a single dimensional relational database format, in which each cell corresponds to one or more corresponding categories or subcategories from the original header. The transformed one-dimensional relational table is then populated with the corresponding cell values from the original table. In this way, data from the original complex and unstructured data table can be stored at a relational database.

Abstract: A network protocol and architecture for extending trust between cloud domains of a same entity comprises adding, by egress logic executing on a first server, authentication information to a packet leaving a first cloud domain of the entity to indicate a source of the packet. The egress logic allows the packet to traverse to a target cloud domain of the entity. Ingress logic executing on a second server at the target cloud domain intercepts the packet and performs validation of the authentication information. Responsive to the authentication information passing validation, the ingress logic determines that the first cloud domain is trusted and allows the packet to proceed to a destination. Responsive to the authentication information failing validation, the ingress logic rejects the packet.

Abstract: An HTML file transmitted to a client device is configured to call JavaScript code, where the JavaScript code is configured to call a requestAnimationFrame browser application programming interface (API) with an argument identifying a callback function. The callback function is configurable to cause the web browser to: 1) reset a first Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) animation of a first DOM element, the first CSS animation being configured to cause the first DOM element to transition from a hidden state to a visible state during a first time duration specified by a first animation-duration property of the first element using a specific set of CSS properties; and 2) call the requestAnimationFrame browser API with the argument identifying the callback function. Thus, the first DOM element remains hidden as long as the browser performs frame refreshes at an optimal rate. However, when the browser's main thread is busy, the first DOM element transitions to a visible state.
