Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to methods that include an authentication management process, executing on a computer system, authorizing a plurality of applications to access a database, and sending one or more passcodes to the authorized applications. In response to an authentication update request, the method further includes selecting a new passcode for accessing the database, and sending, to a plurality of applications authorized to access the database, a notification that the new passcode is available. In response to a request from a particular application, the method also includes sending the new passcode to the particular application. The method further includes determining that each of the plurality of applications has retrieved the new passcode. In response to the determining, the method also includes enabling the new passcode for use by the plurality of applications for accessing the database.

Abstract: Database replication is provided by accessing, by a subscribing application, a message queue through a messaging queue manager. The subscribing application obtains a message provided by a publishing application from the message queue. The message includes message data that corresponds to shard data in a shard database. The subscribing application then provides the message data included in the message to a de-shard database as de-shard data. The de-shard data is an instance of the shard data and is modifiable by the subscribing application without changing the shard data.
