Patent number: 11868321Abstract: A method for a server to manage data in a peer-to-peer blockchain network is described herein. The method includes generating, by a multi-tenant web server, an exchange object for the peer-to-peer blockchain network, wherein the exchange object includes a set of exchange fields and a mapping between each exchange field in the set of exchange fields and a field of a physical object associated with each peer in the peer-to-peer blockchain network; generating, by the multi-tenant web server, a transaction object based on the exchange object, wherein the transaction object includes the set of exchange fields and proposes an alternation to a physical object; and making, by the multi-tenant web server, the transaction object available to the peers in the peer-to-peer blockchain network to attempt to obtain consensus for the alteration.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Prithvi Krishnan Padmanabhan, Sri Naga Deepthi Velisetti, Philip Norman Calvin, Brent Fosdick, Andrew Emil Conn

Patent number: 11100091Abstract: A method for managing data by a multi-tenant server in a distributed network is described. The multi-tenant server manages a multi-tenant environment for a set of tenant systems and peers in the distributed network, which include the set of tenant systems and a set of non-tenant systems. The method includes receiving a tenant transaction request to modify an object in the distributed network, wherein the tenant transaction request is received from a tenant system in the set of tenant systems based on a non-tenant transaction request from a non-tenant system from the set of non-tenant systems; generating, on behalf of the tenant system and the non-tenant system, a transaction object based on an exchange object and the tenant transaction request; and making, on behalf of the tenant system, the transaction object available to the sets of tenant non-tenant systems to attempt to obtain consensus for modifying the object.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: SALESFORCE.COM, INC.Inventors: Prithvi Krishnan Padmanabhan, Sri Naga Deepthi Velisetti, Brent Fosdick, Philip Norman Calvin

Patent number: 10911516Abstract: Techniques for metadata-driven dynamic content serving. Metadata content is stored as a source instance. The metadata content is utilized to provide dynamically-constructed pages. The metadata content is published to runtime pods communicatively coupled to receive the metadata content. The source instance includes a metadata definition repository and is a primary source of dynamic data for serving pages in the runtime pods. The runtime pods are groups of multiple servers that act as a single entity to dynamically generate metadata-driven content in response to requests received from client devices. A request for content is received with a selected one of the runtime pods for a specific site. The specific site is mapped to a user identified by a user identifier. The user identifier is utilized to retrieve site metadata from a site metadata server. Content is provided in response to the request with the selected runtime pod utilizing the metadata content.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Philip Norman Calvin, Brian Zotter, Eric Dorgelo
