Abstract: Technologies are provided for non-monotonic eventual convergence for desired state configuration (“DSC”). In some situations DSC cannot move toward a desired state without first moving further from that state. For example, a file that needs to be replaced with a newer version but that is currently executing (desired state of “operating”) cannot be replaced without first being stopped. But stopping moves in the wrong direction relative to the desired state, which is to have the service operating. This moving away so as to be able to move forward is a problem for conventional DSC systems that results in failures. The solution to this problem is non-monotonic eventual convergence (“NMEC”) which enables a DSC system to configure a target system for a desired state by moving further away from a desired state if that is needed to eventually reach the desired state.

Abstract: Object-oriented application languages often provide resources to applications for accessing objects stored in the volatile application memory region, and, separately, for packaging objects for persistent storage and network transport by serialization and deserialization involving a storage format. However, this design creates discrepancies between the application language and storage format, and depends on affirmative serialization and deserialization by the application. Presented herein are techniques for providing object access to objects involving persisting the objects as documents in a document store, where such persistence occurs automatically upon object creation and updating, and where such objects are stored in a language format integral to the application language (e.g., when a JavaScript application creates an object, the objects are automatically stored as documents of the document store in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format).
