Abstract: A method and system for code introspection in a multi-tenant architecture. The method includes receiving a query for code introspection from an entity, retrieving context for the entity that sent the query, retrieving raw code information based on the query, filtering the raw code information based on the context, and returning the filtered code information.

Abstract: A system receives one or more modifications to a platform-independent declarative specification from a set of data center entity owner teams to generate a modified platform-independent declarative specification that captures various aspects for deploying a data center on a target cloud platform. The system performs end-to-end validation of the modifications in multiple phases, starting with validating the modifications based on a set of predefined rules associated with the modified platform-independent declarative specification. When all the multiple phases of validation indicate success, the system a notification of end-to-end validation success in association with the received changes. Each request to modify a data center entity in the platform-independent declarative specification undergoes governance checks to ensure that the approver of the request belongs to a predefined set of owners associated with the data center entity.

Abstract: In a multitenant data platform architecture, one or more supporting data tables are used to efficiently retrieve data responsive to data retrieval requests. Programmatic code markers associated with contextual data about a data transaction thread are identified. The contextual data is examined using the one or more programmatic code markers invoked by the database in the data transaction thread at runtime. Based on the contextual data returning an indication of a data corruption in one or more supporting data structures, an action associated with the data transaction thread is performed. A log of data corruptions and corresponding call stack trace data may be generated. The data transaction thread may be allowed to continue to execute statements that modify data tables, or the data transaction thread may be terminated.

Abstract: An infrastructure management system automatically determines a configuration of infrastructure services for the execution of applications that best satisfies predefined target criteria based on receiving annotated application programming interface (API) schemas associated with the applications. The system extracts information from customized annotations in a received API schema, sets up an API gateway with an existing configuration of infrastructure services, and logs requests received at this existing configuration via the gateway. The system generates a set of alternate configurations based on the extracted information, simulates execution of a set of logged requests to determine a set of valid configurations, and subsequently selects a new configuration that satisfies threshold predefined target criteria. The system may update the existing configuration to the new configuration without interrupting application services.

Abstract: In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing a stateless, deterministic scheduler and work discovery system with interruption recovery. For instance, according to one embodiment, there is disclosed a system to implement a stateless scheduler service, in which the system includes: a processor and a memory to execute instructions at the system; a compute resource discovery engine to identify one or more computing resources available to execute workload tasks; a workload discovery engine to identify a plurality of workload tasks to be scheduled for execution; a cache to store information on behalf of the compute resource discovery engine and the workload discovery engine; a scheduler to request information from the cache specifying the one or more computing resources available to execute workload tasks and the plurality of workload tasks to be scheduled for execution; and further in which the scheduler is to schedule at least a portion of the plurality of workload tasks for execution via the one or more computing resources based on the information requested. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A client may transmit an authentication request to a server. the server may initiate a key agreement process using a short-lived private key generated at the server and a public key of the device, generate a shared secret, and derive a symmetric key. The symmetric key may be used to encrypt a random challenge. Further, the server initiates a key agreement process for the client using the partial private key that was generated for the client and the short-lived public key generated at the server. A partial key agreement result and the encrypted random challenge may be transmitted to the client. The client may complete the key agreement process using the partial key agreement result and a respective portion of the private key. The client may derive the encryption key and decrypt the random challenge. An indication of the random challenge may be transmitted to the server, which authenticates the client.

Abstract: A system models web content including learning resources available on a website, and makes suggestions of potentially useful learning resources when a user highlights text of interest within the website. In order to facilitate these suggestions, a neural network-based system is trained on learning resources and other content available on the website to create a common word embedding for learning resources and other website text. A student model may then be created to facilitate real time or near real time suggestions of relevant learning resources in response to selections of text from the website.

Abstract: Methods and systems for securing customer data in a multi-tenant database environment are described. A key identifier received from a security server may be stored by an application server. The key identifier may be associated with a private key that is accessible by the security server and not accessible by the application server. A request to derive a symmetric key may be transmitted from the application server to the security server, the request including a public key generated by the application server, a salt value, and the key identifier. The symmetric key may then be derived based on the transmitted public key and the private key using a key derivation function. The application server may then receive and store the symmetric key in an in-memory cache, and be used to securely encrypt data received by the application server from client devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating health-related information about students in an educational environment may include a database system implemented using a server system, the database system configurable to cause receiving, by the server computing system associated with a healthcare provider, a request for health-related information about a student associated with a school, the request received from a computer system associated with the school; searching, by the server computing system, a database associated with the database system for data related to a permission granted by a parent of the student allowing the healthcare provider to release the requested health-related information to the school; and transmitting, by the server computing system, the requested health-related information about the student to the computer system associated with the school based on determining that the data related to the permission granted by the parent of the student is stored in the database, wherein the health-related information about the student is updated periodically at least based on health status information received from a computer system associated with the student.
