Abstract: Non-volatile memory may contain definitions of: (i) a plurality of message queue implementations respectively associated with different queue behaviors, the different queue behaviors specified by corresponding sets of modes, and (ii) an application programming interface (API) through which applications can access one or more message queues. One or more processors may be configured to: create a message queue of a particular message queue type, supported by a corresponding message queue implementation, by specifying a set of modes corresponding to a queue behavior; receive, from a producing application and by way of the API, one or more messages for the message queue; store the one or more messages in a data structure associated with the message queue; receive, from a consuming application and by way of the API, a request to read from the message queue; and provide a message from the message queue to the consuming application.

Abstract: An example embodiment may include a central computational instance, as well as a plurality of computational instances that are configured to execute a software module. The central instance may be configured to deliver updates to configuration data for the software module at a plurality of release times. The embodiment may involve a computing device disposed within a particular instance of the plurality of instances transmitting a request for an out-of-band delivery of the configuration data, where the out-of-band delivery is to be made during a time other than any of the release times, receiving the configuration data from source field(s) of a central database of the central instance, and writing the configuration data to destination field(s) of a local database of the particular instance. The embodiment may also involve executing the software module according to the configuration data stored in the destination field(s).
