Abstract: Operations of a method include receiving a configuration request requesting configuration management of a base configuration package that describes infrastructure of an application. The operations include determining, for the base configuration package, a plurality of package functions. Each package function of the plurality of package functions extends functionality of the base configuration package. The operations include determining, for the base configuration package and the plurality of package functions, a change-proposal function. The change-proposal function proposes one or more of the plurality of package functions to extend the functionality of the base configuration package. The operations include transmitting, to a user device, the change-proposal function and receiving, from the user device, approval of the change-proposal function.

Abstract: A method for conserving resources in a distributed system includes receiving an event-criteria list from a resource controller. The event-criteria list includes one or more events watched by the resource controller and the resource controller controls at least one target resource and is configured to respond to events from the event-criteria list that occur. The method also includes determining whether the resource controller is idle. When the resource controller is idle, the method includes terminating the resource controller, determining whether any event from the event-criteria list occurs after terminating the resource controller, and, when at least one event from the event-criteria list occurs after terminating the resource controller, recreating the resource controller.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a series of writes that each requests respective data to be stored at a database. For each respective write, the method includes storing the respective data in a first buffer associated with a first data streaming application and a second buffer associated with a second data streaming application. The method includes transmitting the respective data to the database. The method includes receiving, from the database, confirmation that the respective data of the respective write has been committed to the database. The confirmation includes an order indicator indicating an order the respective data of the respective write was committed to the database relative to other writes in the series of writes. In response to receiving the confirmation, the method includes sending the respective data from the first buffer to the first data streaming application and from the second buffer to the second data streaming application.

Abstract: An interpretation system for interpreting electronic signals. The system comprising a central processor for receiving an electronic signal from a user terminal; software for (a) interpreting the signal electronically to reduce errors and (b) identifying parts of the signal that cannot be accurately interpreted electronically. In the event that there are parts of the signal that cannot be interpreted, the system is operable to present at an operator terminal the part of the signal that cannot be accurately interpreted electronically. The operator terminal is such as to allow an operator to interpret the signal and make any corrections that are deemed necessary. Once this is done, the correct interpretation is sent to the user terminal or another pre-determined electronic destination.
