Data transformation in a distributed system of applications and data repositories is described. The subsystems for the overall framework are distributed, thereby allowing for customization to require only isolated changes to one or more subsystems. In one embodiment, a source code repository is used to receive and store source code. A build subsystem can retrieve source code from the source code repository and build it, using one or more criteria. By building the source code, the build subsystem can generate an artifact, which is executable code, such as a JAR or SQL file. Likewise, by building the source code, the build subsystem can generate one or more job specifications for executing the executable code. In one embodiment, the artifact and job specification may be used to launch an application server in a cluster. The application server can then receive data transformation instructions and execute the data transformation instructions.

The embodiments are related to a log framework for controlling data sampling at client devices based on a lifecycle of a product. A product can be an application executing on a client device and/or a feature of the application. The sampling of data depends on a lifecycle of the product. For example, data may be sampled at a higher rate during a launch phase of the product, e.g., as more data may be required to analyze the behavior of the product, and then may be decreased to a lower rate when the product matures. Similarly, for a product that is in an experiment phase for a specified duration, data may be logged during the experiment phase, e.g., at a constant sampling rate, and then the logging may be terminated at the expiry of the experiment phase, thereby saving resources, e.g., processing capacity, storage capacity of the client device.

A method of developing software including a plurality of actors executable in parallel includes obtaining first input data including information regarding a plurality of procedures defining a series of messages between a first actor and at least one second actor from among the plurality of actors, obtaining second input data including information regarding relationships between the plurality of procedures, generating control data by interpreting the first and second input data, and controlling the plurality of procedures by processing the series of messages using the control data.
