    Abstract: A user requests installation of a software package on a server. The server identifies an artifact for the software package installed on a first layer of an overlay file system. Based on dependency information for the artifact, the server identifies one or more additional artifacts that the artifact depends on, installed on additional layers of the overlay file system. Instead of duplicating the software package and its dependencies in storage for the user, the server updates a layer strategy for the user. A layer strategy indicates a set of layers to be used by an overlay file system in generating a logical file system. The updated layer strategy for the user includes both the layer for the artifact of the requested software package and the layers for the additional artifacts that the software package depends on.

    Abstract: A file is created in a standardized format that defines a type of a containerized application and includes information for deployment of the containerized application. A single parser of the standardized format is thus enabled to deploy different types of containerized applications. The standardized file format includes an application definition. The application definition includes a service, a port list, a container list, a volume mount list, an access mode list, a resource usage list, or any suitable combination thereof. A client device presents a user interface that allows a user to select a containerized application to execute. An application server parses an application template file for the selected containerized application and, based on the information in the application template file, causes one or more servers (e.g., one or more Kubernetes cluster nodes) to execute the containerized application.

    Abstract: A method for routing trace messages during an execution of a data processing pipeline is provided. The method may include receiving, at a master node, a request from a client to receive trace messages output by a worker node executing at least a portion of the data processing pipeline. The master node and the worker node may be part of a distributed cluster of computing nodes. The trace messages may correspond to events occurring during the execution of at least the portion of the data processing pipeline. The master node may respond to the request by subscribing to a trace stream published by the worker node. The trace stream may include the trace messages output by the worker node. The master node may generate a user interface for displaying, at the client, the trace messages. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

    Abstract: Execution of a plurality of application services corresponding to a plurality of user sessions are initiated in a distributed computing environment. Thereafter, all functional units of each application service are executed as part of a node of the distributed computing environment in a separate service environment and without remote calls to other services. Subsequently, each user session is executed in a separate and distinct node of the distributed computing environment. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

    Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to a multitenant application server using a union file system. Each tenant has one or more users and a tenant layer in the union file system. Each user has a user layer in the union file system. The union file system provides a logical file system to each user based on the user layer, the tenant layer, and a base layer comprising a set of application layers. A first user shares an application template file with other users of the same tenant by moving the file from the first user's user layer to the tenant layer. After the file is moved, all users of the tenant have access to the application defined by the application template file. The moving of the file is achieved by modifying metadata for the file.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution is used to provide for a highly efficient application installer. A software packaging format, known as vSolution, is provided that allows software developers to ship multiple artefacts of different types in a single container. Unlike traditional mechanisms, this container does not contain a dedicated installer executable or any sort of installation routine. Rather, the container format encourages a declarative approach to describe what an installation routine should perform, via the organization of the artefacts based on content type and using a naming convention.
