Managing cached data in a network environment

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including stored contents that cause a data source system to perform automated operations including at least:

• obtaining, by the data source system, and from a remote computing system that stores a cached copy of a group of executable code, a request associated with updating the cached copy of the group of executable code;
• identifying, by the data source system, differences between a current copy of the group of executable code and the cached copy of the group of executable code;
• determining, by the data source system, instructions that, when executed by the remote computing system, perform one or more actions for modifying the cached copy of the group of executable code stored on the remote computing system to include the identified differences;
• and
• providing, by the data source system and to the remote computing system, a response that is to the request and that includes the instructions, to initiate the modifying of the cached copy of the group of executable code to include the identified differences.

A computer system, comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• storage;
• and
• one or more memories with stored instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more hardware processors, cause the computer system to perform operations including at least:
• determining, for a cached copy of a group of executable code stored in the storage, that the cached copy does not satisfy one or more defined criteria;
• interacting with a remote computing system to obtain information corresponding to one or more actions for modifying the cached copy of the group of executable code to include identified differences between the cached copy and a separate copy of the group of executable code;
• and
• performing the one or more actions to modify the cached copy of the group of executable code to include the identified differences, to enable execution of the modified cached copy.
