  • Publication number: 20250147745
    Abstract: In one embodiment, using a script automation processor hosted using a virtual compute instance and a virtual storage instance associated with media storing sequences of instructions defining an API implementation of an API, a graph server, and programming language runtime interpreters, a method includes obtaining access to a user pipeline automation script comprising sequences of instructions specifying API calls to the API, creating and storing modules extending the API from the user pipeline automation script, wherein some of the modules are re-usable, creating and storing programmatic containers corresponding to the modules, creating and storing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) comprising nodes and edges corresponding to dependencies of the containers, interpreting each module using a particular programming language runtime interpreter among the programming language runtime interpreters, installing the modules in association with the API implementation.

  • Publication number: 20240078101
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises using a script automation processor that is hosted using a virtual compute instance and a virtual storage instance associated with one or more second non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing one or more second sequences of instructions defining an API implementation of the API, a graph server, and one or more programming language runtime interpreters, receiving a user pipeline automation script comprising one or more first sequences of instructions specifying one or more API calls to an application programming interface (API), and a user application; using the script automation processor, creating and storing one or more programmatic containers in memory of the script automation processor, the containers corresponding to functions that user pipeline automation script and user application invoke; using the script automation processor, creating and storing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) in the memory of the script processor, the DAG compri
