Method and system for user-designed application deployment

1. A method comprising:

receiving a request, from a client device, to access an external developer application residing at a server within a system, the external developer application including an external developer interface, the external developer interface providing a customized interface associated with the external developer application for a user of the system that is different from a standard interface available with the system;

based on the evaluation, processing the request, by the server, by utilizing a high-level application program interface (API) associated with the external developer application, the high-level API implementing a plurality of low-level API calls to access data available to the system;

providing a response to the request to present at least some of the data on the external developer interface using a link to a website or other network resource; and

denying the request, from the client device, to access content available from the system through the external developer interface when the utilization of the resources with the system exceeds a system threshold.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tow-level API calls represent lower-level data interactions accessing at least one of company data and user application data stored in a database within the system.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein resource includes at least one of:

a number of cycles of a central processing unit (CPU),

a memory, or

a number of system calls.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein processing the request by the server further comprises the high-level API invoking some of the plurality of low-level API calls simultaneously.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the external developer interface is adapted to access content available within the system and content available external to the system; and wherein tracking the utilization of the resource of the system used by the external developer application includes tracking a utilization of the resource of the system used by the external developer interface.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by a programmable application within the system, a plurality of low-level API selected by an external developer during development of the external developer application using a software development kit (SDK) including a set of low-level APIs available to the external developer;

embodying, by the programmable application, the plurality of low-level APIs selected by the external developer into at least one high-level API; and

deploying the external developer application within the system.

7. A system comprising:

at least one processor configured to perform operations for processor-implemented modules including:

a receiver module configured to receive a request, from a client device, to access an external developer application residing at a server within the system, the external developer application including an external developer interface, the external developer interface providing a customized interface associated with the external developer application for a user of the system that is different from a standard interface available with the system;

a resource management module configured to track utilization of a resource of the system used by the external developer application;

a request processing module configured to:

evaluate the tracked utilization of the resources of the system used by the external developer application application;

based on the evaluation, process the request, by the server, by utilizing a high- level application program interface (API) associated with the external developer application, the high-level API implementing a plurality of low-level API calls to access data available to the system;

provide a response to the request to present at least some of the data on the external developer interface using a link to a website or other network resource; and

deny the request, from the client device, to access content available from the system through the external developer interface when the utilization of resources within the system exceeds a system threshold.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of low-level API calls represent lover-level data interactions accessing at least one of company data and user application data stored in a database within the system.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein a resource includes at least one of:

a number of cycles of a central processing unit (CPU),

a memory, or

a number of system calls.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein processing the request by the server further comprises the high-level API invoking some of the plurality of low-level API calls simultaneously.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the external developer interface is adapted to access content available within the system and content available external to the system; and wherein tracking the utilization of the resource of the system used by the external developer application includes tracking a utilization of the resource of the system used by the external developer interface.

12. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:

a deployment module configured to:

receive, by a programmable application within the system, a plurality of low-level API selected by an external developer during development of the external developer application using a software development kit (SDK) including a set of low-level APIs available to the external developer;

embody, by the programmable application, the plurality of low-level APIs selected by the external developer into at least one high-level API; and

deploy the external developer application within the system.

13. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request, from a client device, to access an external developer application residing at a server within a system, the external developer application including an external developer interface, the external developer interface providing a customized interface associated with the external developer application for a user of the system that is different from a standard interface available with the system;

tracking utilization of a resource of the system used by the external developer application;

evaluating the tracked utilization of a resource of the system used by the external developer application;

based on the evaluation, processing the request, by the server, by utilizing a high-level application program interface (API) associated with the external developer application, the high-level API implementing a plurality of low-level API calls to access data available to the system;

providing a response to the request to present at least some of the data on the external developer interface using a link to a website or other network resource; and

denying the request, from the client device, to access content available from the system through an external developer interface when the utilization of resources within the system exceeds a system threshold.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further causing the machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a programmable application within the system, a plurality of low-level API selected by an external developer during development of the external developer application using a software development kit (SDK) including a set of available to the external developer;

embodying, by the programmable application, the plurality of low-level APIs selected by the external developer into at least one high-level API; and

deploying the external developer application within the system.
