Patent number: 12517864Abstract: According to aspects of the disclosure, there is provided a scalable cloud distributed database system for hosting data of multiple database tenants. In some embodiments, the database may be serverless. The serverless database may be configured to automatically and dynamically match resources to workload demands for tenants of the database. Databases described herein may include replica sets hosting multiple tenants. Tenants may be migrated from one replica set to another replica set based on usage. Usage of tenants may be throttled during migration between replica sets. Tenants with lower usage may be selected for migration between replica sets. During migration, files containing both a document and a history of updates to the document may be migrated. Databases described herein may include multiple storage tiers having different read and/or write speeds.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2022Date of Patent: January 6, 2026Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Michalski Schwerin, Therese Avitabile, Mark Porter, Tomer Yakir, Gregory Banks, Louisa Berger, Jack Wearden, Judah Schvimer, Matthew Russotto, Michael Cahill, Esha Maharishi, Siyuan Zhou, Eric Andrew Milkie, A.

Patent number: 12493595Abstract: In some embodiments, an auto-index system may be provided to determine one or more candidate indexes to be automatically created in a database system. The auto-index system may determine if one or more criteria associated with creating the one or more candidate indexes are met. In response to determining that the one or more criteria associated with creating the one or more candidate indexes are met, the auto-index system may automatically create the one or more candidate indexes, for example, by an automation agent. The one or more criteria may also be associated with respective performance metrics of the database system.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2022Date of Patent: December 9, 2025Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Cailin Anne Nelson, John Morales, Jonathan Balsano, Isabel Peters, Mark Porter

Patent number: 11893042Abstract: A method is provided for resharding a sharded database sharded according to a first shard key. The method includes: receiving, by a processor an instruction to reshard the sharded database; receiving, at the processor, a new shard key to be used in a resharding process to reshard the sharded database; determining, by the processor, whether a duration of unavailability of the sharded database during the resharding process is less than a predetermined amount of time; and automatically performing, by the processor, the resharding process according to the new shard key to produce a resharded database, if the duration of unavailability is less than the predetermined amount of time. The method may be performed without users noticing a significant interruption to read/write operations from/to the database.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: MongoDB, Inc.Inventors: Mark Porter, Max Jacob Hirschhorn, Daniel William Gottlieb, Garaudy Etienne, Andrew Michalski Schwerin, Judah Schvimer, Siyuan Zhou, Kaloian Manassiev, Esha Maharishi

Patent number: 10776174Abstract: Resources hosted in different virtualization platforms may be managed across the different virtualization platform. Requests to perform types of actions with respect to a resource hosted in a type of virtualization platform may be received. Mapping information between types of actions and actions available via interfaces for different types of virtualization platforms may be evaluated to select actions for an interface of the type of virtualization platform that hosts the resource. The selected actions may then be performed via the interface to perform the action with regard to the resource.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Walters, Tanmoy Dutta, Barry B.
