  • Publication number: 20240314100
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable medium are provided for receiving an event message in a plurality of event messages, the event message comprising a sequence number and associated data, identifying the event message as an out-of-order event message based on the sequence number, assigning a priority level to the out-of-order event message based on a plurality of priority rules, and placing the out-of-order event message in a primary queue of messages based on the priority level assigned to the event message.

  • Patent number: 11893420
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing dynamically allocated storage and processing units. The systems and methods include operations for determining, a usage pattern having a peak usage portion and a low usage portion; reserving a first collection of units on a dynamic unit allocation system during the peak usage portion; detecting a transition from the peak usage portion to the low usage portion; in response to detecting the transition, instructing the dynamic unit allocation system to reduce the first collection of units to reserve a second collection of units corresponding to a second amount of the low usage portion; selecting asynchronous tasks that consume a set of units greater than the second collection of units; and during a period of time that the dynamic unit allocation system is reducing the first collection of units, causing the asynchronous tasks to be executed by the dynamic allocation system.

  • Patent number: 11888803
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for exchanging messages between gateways. The systems and methods include operations for: storing, in a first gateway located in a first geographical region of a plurality of geographical regions, data that associates a plurality of users with the plurality of geographical regions; receiving, by the first gateway, a message directed to a given user of the plurality of users; determining, based on the data, that a second geographical region of the plurality of geographical regions is associated with the given user; and transmitting, by the first gateway, the message to a second gateway located in the second geographical region.
