Abstract: A system is provided that permits events to be propagated between systems in near real time for the purpose of ensuring consistency in a transaction-based environment. In one implementation, transactions are streamed between systems using a lightweight protocol shortly after they are processed, rather than being communicated in a one-way batch mode as is typically done in conventional retail store systems.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to receive operations data from a content management system, wherein the operations data comprises a log of operations, execute the log of operations, and update, based on execution of the log of operations, a remote tree representing a server state for content items stored on the content management system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up data. A backup operation can identify blocks that have changed since a most recent backup operation. The blocks that have changed since the most recent backup operation are compared with the blocks that are being used. Only the blocks that are both used and have changed are backed up. This can reduce the size of the backup be excluding blocks that may have changed but are no longer used.

Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment interfaces with storage devices that store shared content accessible by two or more users. Individual items within the shared content are associated with respective object metadata that is also stored in the cloud-based environment. Download requests initiate downloads of instances of a virtual file system module to two or more user devices associated with two or more users. The downloaded virtual file system modules capture local metadata that pertains to local object operations directed by the users over the shared content. Changed object metadata attributes are delivered to the server and to other user devices that are accessing the shared content. Peer-to-peer connections can be established between the two or more user devices. Object can be divided into smaller portions such that processing the individual smaller portions of a larger object reduces the likelihood of a conflict between user operations over the shared content.

Abstract: A computing device includes an interface configured to interface and communicate with a communication system, a memory that stores operational instructions, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the interface and to the memory that is configured to execute the operational instructions to perform various operations. The computing device monitors navigation activity of another computing device with website(s) to generate client navigation history and server navigation history. The computing device also facilitates storage of the client navigation history based on a first blockchain and storage of the server navigation history based on a second blockchain. Based on a request to deliver tailored content from a website to the computing device, the computing device determines whether the client navigation history based on the first blockchain compares favorably to the server navigation history based on the second blockchain and selectively delivers or blocks the tailored content.

Abstract: Technologies are described for performing replication within a database environment. Where a database transaction is replicated at multiple replica nodes, a replica node is selected as a coordinator replica node for the transaction. The other replica node or nodes are designated as follower replica nodes for the transaction. A follower replica node sends the coordinator replica node a precommit notification when the follower replica node has precommitted the transaction. The coordinator replica node sends the follower replica node a postcommit notification to commit the transaction when the transaction has been precommitted by all of the replica nodes to which the transaction is to be replicated.

Abstract: A data storage system implements aggregation, bifurcation, and/or reduction techniques to improve the efficiency of processing data storage requests. Data storage requests and/or their associated payloads may be aggregated based on one or more parameters. Data to be stored and the associated commands may be separated so as to optimize a system's throughput and latency for each. Furthermore, extraneous commands and requests may be reduced or eliminated based on heuristics associated with the requests and the data.

Abstract: A software application platform for uploading a file to a server is disclosed. The server receives a request from a user to upload a file thereto. An upload client extracts file information from the file. The server generates a file signature for the file. The server accesses one or more existing file signatures for each of one or more existing files on the server. The server determines whether any of the one or more existing file signatures are similar to the file signature. Responsive to determining that there is an existing file signature that is similar to the file signature, the server accesses a first hash signature for the existing file. The upload client generates a second hash signature for the file. Responsive to determining that the first hash signature does not equal the second hash signature, the upload client uploads the file to the server.
