A proxy apparatus acts as an intermediary between one or more bot apparatuses and one or more communication channels. The proxy apparatus connects a communication channel to a bot apparatus for the exchange of messages. A user can interact with the bot apparatus through the communication channel. The proxy apparatus is configured to perform one or more operations or services. Example operations include, but are not limited to, registration, authentication and authorization, the recordation of telemetry data, schema transformation, and identity transformation.

Provided are computer-implemented methods and systems for dynamically deploying a web component in an application. An example method for dynamically deploying a web component in an application may include deploying a client-side application to a web browser associated with a client device. The method may continue with receiving a request to deploy a web component in the client-side application. The method may further include dynamically loading the web component in the client-side application. With this method, web components can be dynamically added to a current operating version of a web application. Further, a user can use a web application as if it is operating locally on the web browser of the client device, even though it is not actually stored locally on the client device.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein for containerized scalable storage applications. Methods may include instantiating an application instance based on a plurality of application instance parameters, the application instance being configured to utilize a plurality of storage volumes implemented in a storage cluster. Methods may also include enumerating a plurality of unattached storage volumes included in the cluster associated with the application instance, the plurality of unattached storage volumes having a plurality of underlying physical storage devices, and the plurality of unattached storage volumes being identified based on a plurality of application instance parameters. The methods may further include attaching at least some of the plurality of unattached storage volumes to the application instance, wherein the attaching enables the application instance to access data stored in the attached storage volumes.

A method and system for a content broker, including a unified object index, where the content broker is coupled to the unified object index and receives, from a requesting entity, a request to perform an action on an object and the object is stored in the content repository. The method further including obtaining the object associated with the request from a content repository, determining, using the unified object index, a normalized object type associated with the object, obtaining a governance rule based on the normalized object type, and servicing the request using the governance rule.

A computer system configured for autonomous learning of entity values is provided. The computer system includes a memory that stores associations between entities and fields of response data. The computer system also includes a processor configured to receive a request to process an intent; generate a request to fulfill the intent; transmit the request to a fulfillment service; receive, from the fulfillment service, response data specifying values of the fields; identify the values of the fields within the response data; identify the entities via the associations using the fields; store, within the memory, the values of the fields as values of the entities; and retrain a natural language processor using the values of the entities.

A method for storing session state data of a session between a system having a plurality of nodes and a client device includes delivering a service to the client device during a session identified or otherwise specified by a session identifier. The service is delivered by a first of the plurality of nodes in the system. During the session, at least a second node in the system is selected on which session state data associated with the session is to be saved. The second node is selected based on the session identifier such that another node in the system is able to locate the session state data when stored on the second node from the session identifier without contacting a centralized mechanism that specifies where session state data is stored. The session state data is saved to the second node that is selected.

A distributed data storage system that includes endpoint nodes, gateway nodes, and one or more gateway name servers. A gateway name server receives from clients resolution requests to resolve to a gateway node and resolves the resolution requests to a gateway node address of a gateway node. A gateway node receives client requests to access an endpoint node and redirects the requests to endpoint nodes identified by a gateway node whose address was resolved to by a gateway name server. An endpoint node receives from a client a retrieval request to retrieve data based on being redirected to the endpoint node. When a retrieval request is received and the endpoint node stores the data, the endpoint node sends the data to the client. When a retrieval request is received and the endpoint node does not store the data, the endpoint node forwards the retrieval request to another endpoint node.
