Patent number: 12164472Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up data for a software platform include segmenting data objects from a software platform into data chunks, which are subsequently stored. Data chunks may include content from data objects having similar content attributes, such as content type and an estimated frequency at which the content changes. In various embodiments, pages from a content collaboration platform and issues from an issue tracking platform are grouped into chunks and stored for backup. A size of the chunks may be based on one or more content attributes associated with the pages or issues. Examples of content attributes include a relationship between text and non-text content, a number of associated users, and a number of comments.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignees: ATLASSIAN PTY LTD., ATLASSIAN US, INC.Inventor: Richard Friend

Patent number: 11010087Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for consistent distributed mirroring of data maintained by a primary cluster. The method comprises removing, by one mirror node of multiple mirror nodes, a change notification from a change queue shared between multiple mirror nodes; initiating an update process for the data corresponding to the change notification; and fetching one or more objects corresponding to the change notification from the primary cluster. Designated temporary slave mirror nodes notify a designated temporary master mirror node that fetching objects is complete, and the temporary master mirror node notifies the temporary slave mirror nodes that the update process is complete once a notification is received from each of the temporary slave mirror nodes.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignees: ATLASSIAN PTY LTD., ATLASSIAN INC.Inventors: Per Daniel Kjellin, Wolfgang Franz Kritzinger, Manish Goyal, Daniel Lane Reissenberger, Richard Friend, Chandravadan Subraveti
