Abstract

Systems and methods provide for a network address management system for generating consistent network addresses to computing resources and for developing applications that are resilient to changes in the network addresses to those resources. In an embodiment, a consumer application executing on a computing system can receive a network address schema for a provider application via a library. The library may include a function for constructing a network address to the provider application. The consumer application can invoke the function to begin building the network address. The computing system/library extract context information at the time the consumer application invokes the build function, augment the context information using a selected application namespace (e.g., network address patterns and rules), and generate the network address using the augmented context information, patterns, and rules.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving, by a first computing system during runtime of a first application executing on the first computing system, network address schema information for a second application, the first application incorporating a library that includes a function to generate a network address to the second application;
receiving, by the first computing system from the first application during the runtime of the first application, a request to generate the network address via the first application invoking the function of the library;
determining, using one or more processors of the first computing system, context information for the first application when the first application invokes the function to generate the network address to the second application;
determining augmented context information using a portion of the network address schema information associated with the context information;
and
determining the network address to the second application using the augmented context information and the portion of the network address schema information associated with the context information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first computing system, cause the first computing system to perform operations comprising:

receiving, during runtime of a first application executing on the first computing system, network address schema information for a second application, the first application incorporating a library that includes a function to generate a network address to the second application;
receiving, from the first application during the runtime of the first application, a request to generate the network address via the first application invoking the function of the library;
determining context information for the first application when the first application invokes the function to generate the network address to the second application;
determining augmented context information using a portion of the network address schema information associated with the context information;
and
determining the network address to the second application using the augmented context information and the portion of the network address schema information associated with the context information.
