Abstract: Mechanisms and techniques for providing continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) for data lake applications are disclosed. Assembly of code for an app is managed with a CI platform to create a container within a shared environment within which the app runs. The container is isolated from other containers and bundles software, libraries and configuration files and can communicate with other containers through defined channels. The shared environment provides a platform for running the app. The app writes to one or more tables maintained in the shared environment. Assembly of subsequent versions of code for the app is managed by the CI platform. Deployment of the assembled subsequent version of the code to the container is managed by the CI platform. Integration tests are run on the deployed subsequent version of the code with the CI platform. The subsequent version of the code replaces the app in the shared environment when integration testing is complete.

Abstract: An event-driven compute service upgrades an execution environment for registered functions of the compute service. Some compute nodes of the service have an updated version of the execution environment and some compute nodes have the old version of the execution environment. As a part of the upgrade process, some functions are executed in both environments. For example, for some invocations of a particular function, the function is executed in the updated execution environment while for other invocations of the same function, the function is executed in the old execution environment. Based on resulting status of the executions, the compute service determines that the particular function is compatible or incompatible with the updated version of the execution environment. The compute service performs subsequent executions of incompatible functions in the old version of the execution environment instead of in the updated version. A client may be notified of the incompatibility.

Alternatively, if no other version of the class is found, a base version of the class may be loaded from the multi-version library.

Abstract: A function is compiled against a first application binary interface (ABI) and a second ABI of a native first instruction set architecture (ISA). The second ABI defines context data not exceeding a size expected by a third ABI of a foreign second ISA, and uses a subset of registers of the first ISA that are mapped to registers of the second ISA. Use of the subset of registers by the second ABI results in some functions being foldable when compiled using both the first and second ABIs. First and second compiled versions of the function are identified as foldable, or not, based on whether the compiled versions match. Both the first and second compiled versions are emitted into a binary file when they are not foldable, and only one of the first or second compiled versions is emitted into the binary file when they are foldable.
