Abstract: A computer-implemented process includes the following operations. Interface data for a first computer application having a first interface configured to exchange data with a second computer application is identified. The interface data is aggregated using a machine learning engine, and the machine learning engine performs contextual analysis on the aggregated interface data to identify a context. A fix pack for the first computer application is generated using the context from the contextual analysis. The fix pack is caused to be applied to the first computer application. The fix pack includes an installable for the first application to transform notations used by the second computer application when communication with the first application.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for dynamically integrating a client application with multiple third-party services. An integration service receives a request to perform an action relative to a particular third-party service from a client device. The request is received through a first application programming interface (API) generic to a plurality of third-party services. The integration service communicates with the particular third-party service to perform the action using a second API specific to the particular third-party service. The integration service sends a response to the client device through the first API. The response is based at least in part on a result of the action and includes an indication of one of a plurality of predefined user interfaces.

Abstract: An event message buffer queues event messages from a number of system components. Upon receiving an event message from a system component, the event message buffer compares the event message with a pending event message from the same component. If the event message is the same as the pending event message, the event message is not queued. If the event message differs from the pending event message, the event message is queued. Upon receiving a read request, the event message buffer only transmits the queued event message if it is different from the previously sent event message.

Abstract: A data object from a data source is received by a distributed process in a data stream. The distributed process has a sequence of categories, each category containing one or more tasks that operate on the data object. The data object includes files that can be processed by the tasks. If the task is able to operate on the data object, then the data object is passed to the task. If the task is unable to operate on the data object, then the files in the data object are passed to a file staging area of the distributed process and stored in memory. The files in the file staging area are passed, in sequence, from the file staging area to the task that was unable to operate on the data object. The data object is outputted to a next category or data sink after being operated on by the task.

Abstract: The system disclosed herein is composed of a network API gateway that is configured to assign credentials to a call to an operator network. The call is initiated based on a request received from an application. The credentials are used by an operator API to authenticate the call. The network API gateway creates and uses a connectivity representation as a basis for assigning the credentials to the call. The credentials are generated by the application making the request and the credentials are passed to the network API gateway as part of a translation session (e.g., five minute time interval) during which the network API gateway translates requests for the application. Consequently, each request sent by the application to the network API gateway during the translation session no longer needs its own credentials, and thus, the developer is released from the requirement of managing credentials for each request.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing provisioning of virtual machines. Virtual machines may host applications that may provide computer implemented services. Various hardware resources may be allocated to the virtual machines via a hypervisor. As the workloads of the applications change, the virtual machines may become over or under provisioned. To manage provisioning of virtual machines, various types of resource consumption estimates may be obtained. The resource consumption estimates may be used to ascertain how to provision various virtual machines to reduce or eliminate inefficient allocations of hardware resources for use by the virtual machines.
