Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for automatically distributing loads among computing devices involved in message delivery within a group-based communication platform. Embodiments utilize a status checker to monitor the relative health and/or utilization of various channel servers each servicing a group-based communication channel for communication among a particular group of client devices. Upon detecting that one or more of the channel servers exhibit failing health characteristics, the status checker may automatically reallocate the messaging load performed by the failing channel server to other servers, thereby redefining the group-based communication channel associated with a particular group to encompass the newly assigned channel server and minimizing the impact of the failed channel server on message distribution within the group-based communication channel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing bulk handling in asynchronous processing are described. For example, an exemplary system includes a processor and a memory to execute instructions at the system; a broker to enqueue received messages; a push connection from the broker to a thread, in which the broker is to push an initial message to the thread for processing; a pull connection from the thread to the broker, in which the thread is to request one or more additional messages for bulk processing with the initial message from the broker; a query interface to issue a database query from the thread to a data store, the database query specifying the initial message and the one or more additional messages as a set of messages to obtain a lock for the set of messages; and a message processing engine to handle the set of messages in bulk based on whether the lock for the set of messages is obtained.

Abstract: In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems and methods for implementing bulk handling in asynchronous processing. According to a particular embodiment such a system includes a processor and a memory to execute instructions at the system; a broker to enqueue received messages; a push connection from the broker to a thread, in which the broker is to push an initial message to the thread for processing; a pull connection from the thread to the broker, in which the thread is to request one or more additional messages for bulk processing with the initial message from the broker; a query interface to issue a database query from the thread to a data store, the database query specifying the initial message and the one or more additional messages as a set of messages to obtain a lock for the set of messages; and a message processing engine to handle the set of messages in bulk based on whether the lock for the set of messages is obtained. Other related embodiments are disclosed.
