  • Publication number: 20230119926
    Abstract: An object storage system can receive chunks of an object. Each of the chunks includes data that is a subset of the object. Each subset has an arbitrary amount of data and at least two of the subsets include overlapping data. Each of the chunks is associated with a timestamp. Responsive to a request for the object the object storage system can reconstitute the object by including the subset of data from a most recent of the chunks based on the timestamps and including only nonoverlapping data from subsequent chunks in reverse chronological order based on the timestamps until the object is reconstituted. The object storage system can transmit the reconstituted object.

  • Patent number: 11188353
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein permit bundled web applications to be extended at runtime. In particular, the functionality of a container application that is a bundled web application may be extended by extensions that are also bundled web applications. To enable such extensibility, the container application registers reusable portion(s) of its code in a global context during a bootstrapping sequence of the container application. Thereafter, extensions that are loaded may access and utilize the registered portion(s) of code, as if those extensions had been bundled together with the rest of the container application. In addition, extensions may be managed using scoping and/or permissions that control access to the extensions based on the container application mode that the extensions can be used with and white lists of users who are allowed to use the extensions, respectively.
