A list of page requests is generated using a prediction model that predicts a plurality of page requests for a site or web application that are expected to be received from client devices, where at least some of the page requests include URLs and one or more other parameters that affect generation of a corresponding page. A request is simulated for each of the page requests included on the list of page requests to a caching layer to cause the caching layer to: make a request to an origin server for the site or dynamic web application, receive rendered pages from the origin server, and store the received rendered pages, such that subsequent requests received at the caching layer can be served from the already rendered pages.

Abstract: Consumption of online content is tracked to increase a likelihood that the user is paying attention. A request is received from a remote processing device to begin receiving content, and a block of content is assembled, the block of content having a known content playback duration. Additionally, a post block verification duration is associated with the block of content. The assembled block of content is communicated to the remote processing device for playback thereon, and a perception indicator is collected during playback of the block of content. The collected perception indicator is compared against a perception threshold. Also, a post block verification is performed immediately after playback of the block of content for the post block verification duration. A contingency result is then determined based upon the comparison of the perception indicator to the perception threshold, and whether a valid feedback is received within the post block verification duration.

Abstract: Some embodiments may be associated with a cloud computing environment. A computer processor of a data analysis server may receive a stream of big data associated with the cloud computing environment. The data analysis server may then create a probabilistic data structure (e.g., a sketch) representing the received stream of big data and store the created probabilistic data structure into the probabilistic data structure repository. A request for data analytics is then received from a remote client browser. Responsive to the received request, the data analysis server may retrieve the probabilistic data structure from the probabilistic data structure repository and push a WebAssembly (“Wasm”) module and the retrieved probabilistic data structure to the client browser. According to some embodiments, the data analysis server may then receive new updates to the stream of big data and send delta changes to the client browser via a WebSocket protocol.

Abstract: Web server security is assessed. Some embodiments analyze data exchanged with a web server to determine a risk associated with accessing the web server. For example, one or more of a type of web application accessed via the web server, a type of interpreted language used to implement the web server, and/or a type and/or version of an http server operable on the web server are examined. Based on the analysis, the risk associated with accessing the web server is determined. Some embodiments then block access to the web server based on the analysis. Alternatively, in some embodiments, a user may be alerted to the risk, and then allowed to proceed upon accepting the risks. Some embodiments share the determined risk assessment with other client devices via a web server risk data store.

Abstract: Systems and method for migrating a web application from a source environment to a cloud service. A cloud service system accesses a temporary container containing a manifest and a plurality of web parts for the web application. The manifest includes a list of contents of the temporary container and defines an appearance and functionality of the web application. The cloud service system then reconstructs the web application on the cloud service by automatically generating a user interface environment for the web application on the cloud service based on the manifest and importing each web part of the web parts to the cloud service. The cloud service system configures each web part and the user interface environment to interact as defined by the manifest. The user interface environment reconstructed on the cloud service replicates the appearance and functionality of the web application operating system in the source environment.

Abstract: This application relates to an application control method performed by an electronic device.

Abstract: Messages can be exchanged using efficient topics. When a server is interconnected with endpoints via a broker that implements a topic-based transport protocol, the server can dynamically generate a response ID for a request message the server intends to send to an endpoint. The server can generate the response ID from an endpoint ID of the endpoint and a message ID for the request message. The server can include the endpoint ID and the message ID in the request message and can subscribe to a topic containing the response ID. Upon receiving the request message, the endpoint can extract the endpoint ID and the message ID and use them to generate the response ID. The endpoint can then send a response message that includes the topic containing the response ID. Alternatively, the response ID could be generated from a message ID and a pre-agreed upon unique ID.

Abstract: Policies can be applied to, and enforced for, specific resources by applying a corresponding tag to those resources. An entity, such as a customer of a resource provider, can generate one or more policies to be applied to a set of resources, where those policies can relate to data retention, backup, lifecycle events, and other such aspects. Each policy can be associated with a particular tag, which may comprise a key-value pair to be applied to various resources. A policy enforcement manager can determine the tagged resources and ensure that the relevant policies are applied. The policies can include logic or intelligence for performing a variety of tasks with respect to resources, groups of resources, or types of resources, as identified using the tags.
