Abstract

Mechanisms and techniques for providing an isolated runtime environment are disclosed. Scoped properties are generated utilizing a namespace identifier. The namespace identifier is an identifier used to define a scope of at least an isolated application runtime context. Scoped objects are generated corresponding to one or more dependent services utilizing the one or more scoped properties and the namespace identifier. A target application is deployed to a container corresponding to the isolated application runtime context. The target application interacts with at least some of the dependent services utilizing the namespace identifier. At least one integration test is run on the target application in the container. The integration tests refer to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier.

Claims (29)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configurable to cause the one or more processors to:

provide one or more scoped properties utilizing a namespace identifier, wherein the namespace identifier is used to define a scope of at least an isolated application runtime context;

provide one or more scoped objects corresponding to one or more dependent services utilizing the one or more scoped properties and the namespace identifier;

run at least one integration test on a target application in a container corresponding to the isolated application runtime context, the integration tests referring to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein the isolated runtime context comprises a group of artifacts created in the one or more dependent services having the same namespace identifier that are privately accessible by the target application.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2 wherein the isolated runtime context comprises at least a data structure of key/value pairs, the key of each pair to indicate an artifact type and the value of each pair to indicate a namespace-decorated reference to the artifact in one of the one or more dependent services.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein the namespace identifier is provided as either a program argument or an environment variable.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data logging platform.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data analytics platform.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein an application context takes the namespace identifier from a program argument or from an environment variable.

8. A method comprising:

providing one or more scoped properties utilizing a namespace identifier, wherein the namespace identifier is used to define a scope of at least an isolated application runtime context;

providing one or more scoped objects corresponding to one or more dependent services utilizing the one or more scoped properties and the namespace identifier;

running at least one integration test on a target application in a container corresponding to the isolated application runtime context, the integration tests referring to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the isolated runtime context comprises a group of artifacts created in the one or more dependent services having the same namespace identifier that are privately accessible by the target application.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the isolated runtime context comprises at least a data structure of key/value pairs, the key of each pair to indicate an artifact type and the value of each pair to indicate a namespace-decorated reference to the artifact in one of the one or more dependent services.

11. The method of claim 8 wherein the namespace identifier is provided as either a program argument or an environment variable.

12. The method of claim 8 wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data logging platform.

13. The method of claim 8 wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data analytics platform.

14. The method of claim 8 wherein an application context takes the namespace identifier from a program argument or from an environment variable.

15. A database system implemented via a server system, the database system configurable to cause:

providing one or more scoped properties utilizing a namespace identifier, wherein the namespace identifier is used to define a scope of at least an isolated application runtime context;

providing one or more scoped objects corresponding to one or more dependent services utilizing the one or more scoped properties and the namespace identifier;

running at least one integration test on a target application in a container corresponding to the isolated application runtime context, the integration tests referring to the isolated application runtime context utilizing the namespace identifier.

16. The database system of claim 15 wherein the isolated runtime context comprises a group of artifacts created in the one or more dependent services having the same namespace identifier that are privately accessible by the target application.

17. The database system of claim 16 wherein the isolated runtime context comprises at least a data structure of key/value pairs, the key of each pair to indicate an artifact type and the value of each pair to indicate a namespace-decorated reference to the artifact in one of the one or more dependent services.

18. The database system of claim 15 wherein the namespace identifier is provided as either a program argument or an environment variable.

19. The database system of claim 15 wherein the one or more dependent services comprises at least one data analytics platform.

20. The database system of claim 15 wherein an application context takes the namespace identifier from a program argument or from an environment variable.
