    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing messages. The systems and methods include operations for: identifying a difference between a current state of a messaging application and a shared synchronization database, wherein the shared synchronization database is updated via a third-party application in response to the third-party application receiving, from a server, a notification related to the messaging application, the messaging application and the third-party application being implemented on a client device; retrieving information from the shared synchronization database to update the current state of the messaging application based on the identified difference; and transmitting, to the server by the messaging application, a request for content based on the update to the current state of the messaging application.

    Abstract: Method of dynamically assigning storage locations starts with the processor updating first user's home location data. Processor selects communication session between first user and second user and determines second user's home location data. Processor determines a session location data that indicates current storage location that stores data of communication session received from first and second client devices. Processor identifies available data storage locations based on first user and second user's home location data and determines whether to update the session location data based on an average of a distance over network fiber using the first user and second user's home locations, current storage location, and available storage locations. In response to determining to update the session location data, processor updates session location data to indicate one of the available storage locations, and causes transfer of data of communication session to one of the available storage locations. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing data. The systems and methods include operations for: storing a synchronization entry for a messaging application feature, the synchronization entry comprising a last update timestamp associated with a first update to content of the messaging application feature received from a first source; receiving a second update to the content of the messaging application feature from the first source; determining that the second update was received within a write window of the last update timestamp; in response to determining that the second update was received within the write window of the last update timestamp, preventing updating the last update timestamp; and sending the first update and the second update to a client device in response to receiving a synchronization request from the client device based on the last update timestamp.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing dynamically allocated storage and processing units. The systems and methods include operations for determining, a usage pattern having a peak usage portion and a low usage portion; reserving a first collection of units on a dynamic unit allocation system during the peak usage portion; detecting a transition from the peak usage portion to the low usage portion; in response to detecting the transition, instructing the dynamic unit allocation system to reduce the first collection of units to reserve a second collection of units corresponding to a second amount of the low usage portion; selecting asynchronous tasks that consume a set of units greater than the second collection of units; and during a period of time that the dynamic unit allocation system is reducing the first collection of units, causing the asynchronous tasks to be executed by the dynamic allocation system.
