  • Patent number: 11941385
    Abstract: Techniques for a service provider network to communicatively couple services and/or applications in a serverless computing environment. A pipe component can configure a pipe to integrate two services by transmitting data between services and/or applications using the pipe. The pipe may also be configured to transform how a service processes an event, control timing of event transmissions using the pipe, define an event structure for an event, and/or batch events. Pipes enable an application or service to exchange data with a variety of services provided by the service provider network while controlling what type of data is generated, stored, or transmitted.

  • Patent number: 11347549
    Abstract: A notification for an application stack is received, where the application stack includes a plurality of resource types. At least one policy associated with the notification is obtained, with the first policy being a policy for scaling a first resource of a first resource type and a second resource of a second resource type of the application stack. A first capacity for the first resource and a second capacity for the second resource is determined based at least in part on the at least one policy. The first resource and the second resource are caused to be scaled according to the first capacity and the second capacity respectively.

  • Patent number: 11336583
    Abstract: A computing resource service provider may provide computing instances organized into logical groups, such as auto-scale groups. Computing instances assigned to an auto-scale group may be associated with one or more load balancers configured to direct traffic to the computing instances. Furthermore, customers of the computing resource service provider may add or remove load balancer from the auto-scale groups. A background process may be used to add and remove computer instances of the auto-scale group from the load balancers customers are attempting to have added or removed.

  • Patent number: 10979436
    Abstract: A policy associated with a notification received by one or more computer systems is obtained. A first request is submitted, to a service, for a first current capacity of a resource. An amount by which to adjust a capacity of the resource is calculated, based at least in part on the policy and the first current capacity. A second request is submitted, to the service, to adjust the capacity of the resource by the amount. A third request is submitted, to the service, for a second current capacity of the resource, and whether the second request has been fulfilled is determined based at least in part on a comparison between the second current capacity and the response to the third request.

  • Patent number: 10911379
    Abstract: Based on analysis of messages transmitted to a communication channel, a schema for a category of messages is generated. The schema indicates one or more data types and an ordering of instances of the data types. The schema is stored in a registry. A code artifact generated in accordance with the schema is provided to automate event processing tasks associated with the message category.

  • Patent number: 10511658
    Abstract: A computing resource associated with a user is scheduled to undergo a transition. Prior to the scheduled transition, the computing resource is placed in a pending state. The user is notified that the computing resource is scheduled to undergo the transition. In response to an input received from the user, the computing resource is allowed to undergo the transition when the input indicates that the transition can proceed.

  • Patent number: 10355934
    Abstract: Technology for scaling computing instances is provided. In one example, a method may include identifying vertical scaling rules defining a criterion for vertically scaling a computing instance from a first instance type to a second instance type. The method may further include monitoring usage of the computing instance and vertically scaling the computing instance from the first instance type to the second instance type based on the usage as compared to the vertical scaling rules.

  • Patent number: 10148592
    Abstract: Techniques are described for scaling a group of computing resources. A computing resource service receives a scaling policy for use in scaling the group of computing resources. The scaling policy specifies a target level for a resource utilization metric and magnitude-based changes to the group. The computing resource service receives information about a magnitude of a measurement for the resource utilization metric. The computing resource service determines, based at least in part on the scaling policy, one or more changes for the group and initiates the one or more changes in the group.

  • Patent number: 10069869
    Abstract: In response to receipt of a notification from a third service, a scaling policy specified by a customer of a computing resource service provider to be associated with the notification is obtained, with the scaling policy including a set of parameters that includes an identity of a resource of a second service of the computing resource service provider. As a result of processing the scaling policy in accordance with the set of parameters, a request is submitted to a second service to scale the resource, and output is provided that indicates whether the scaling request has been fulfilled.
