  • Publication number: 20260106874
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and computer-storage media for credential-less access to remote resources. An example method includes creating, by at least one hardware processor, a security integration object. The security integration object includes an identification of a role associated with access to an external resource. The method includes creating a secret object comprising a token associated with the security integration object. The method includes binding the security integration object and the secret object to generate a storage integration object. The storage integration object includes an external access integration. The method includes retrieving a cloud provider token during execution of a user-defined function (UDF). The method includes granting the UDF access to the external resource based on authenticating the cloud provider token using the external access integration.

  • Publication number: 20250383900
    Abstract: To provide outbound private link support for a multi-tenant data system with tenant isolation, a separate, dedicated virtual network is provided, referred to as private link (PL) virtual network. The PL virtual network may host a plurality of host interface endpoints and resource endpoints. A core virtual network and the PL virtual network may be peered together to work in conjunction. The private endpoints in the PL virtual network may then be connected to external systems using a private link without exposure to the public internet.

  • Publication number: 20250280043
    Abstract: The subject technology receives, by one or more hardware processors, a request to execute a user-defined function (UDF) within a sandbox process. The subject technology establishes a secure egress path for the UDF using an overlay network, where the overlay network includes a dedicated DNS resolver at a proxy service. The subject technology receives, from the UDF, a DNS request to resolve a hostname. The subject technology validates, by the proxy service, that the hostname is included in an allowed host list associated with the UDF. The subject technology resolves, by the dedicated DNS resolver, the hostname to an IP address using a UDP listener configured to handle DNS protocol traffic on a designated port of the proxy service. The subject technology enables the UDF to communicate with a host at the resolved IP address via the secure egress path.

  • Patent number: 12323468
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for securely executing user-defined functions within a cloud data platform. A method involves receiving, via hardware processors, a request to execute a user-defined function (UDF) contained within a sandbox process. The UDF comprises code for performing specified operations that necessitate access to external resources. To facilitate this access, a secure egress path is established using an overlay network designed to isolate the UDF's network traffic from other processes. Authentication and authorization details for the UDF are managed externally to the sandbox process, ensuring that the UDF's functionality remains orthogonal to the cloud data platform's operations. This approach enables the secure and controlled execution of UDFs, allowing them to interact with external systems while maintaining the integrity and security of the cloud data platform environment.

  • Patent number: 12244558
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and techniques of performing source network address translation (SNAT) at a packet sender (e.g., a client device) instead of a gateway device (e.g., a proxy device). The present disclosure performs a SNAT operation at the packet sender, relieving the gateway device from the SNAT operation to perform other duties (e.g., policy enforcement). An example method of network address translation includes modifying, by a processing device at a data packet origination device (e.g., a client device), network address information in an internet protocol (IP) header of a packet using a public IP address. The method further includes sending the packet to a public network based on the public IP address.

  • Patent number: 11930045
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for enabling any sandboxed user-defined function code to securely access the Internet via a cloud data platform. A remote procedure call is received by a cloud data platform from a user-defined function (UDF) executing within a sandbox process. The UDF includes code related to at least one operation to be performed. The cloud data platform provides an overlay network to establish a secure egress path for UDF external access. The cloud data platform enables the UDF executing in the sandbox process to initiate a network call.

  • Publication number: 20150278297
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for extending a data model. The apparatus may include at least one memory and at least one processor configured to provide information to a queue responsive to detection of new data associated with a user or an encounter or detection of modified data associated with the user or encounter. The processor is also configured to identify a pattern(s) based on analyzing the information in the queue. The information includes content of the new data or the modified data. The patterns include instructions specifying a calculation(s) for execution based on usage of the new data or the modified data. The processor is also configured to provide results of the calculation(s) to a database to enable access of the results by an application(s) or a communication device(s) responsive to executing a pattern(s) and determining the results of the calculation. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.
