Abstract

A first stack running on a processor receives the transaction data, reference data, and context data. The reference data is independent of the transaction and of a user. The context data is associated with the user but is independent of the transaction. The first stack strips the transaction of derivable data to obtain stripped data. The derivable data includes data that can be derived from the stripped data, the context data, and the reference data. The derivable data can stream the stripped data to a global database available and redundant across multiple geographical regions. After the first stack fails, a second stack can resume the transaction by retrieving the stripped data from the global database, and retrieving the context data, and the reference data. The second stack can recreate the transaction data based on the stripped data, the context data, and the reference data, and can resume the transaction.

Dependent claims

At least one computer-readable storage medium, excluding transitory signals and carrying instructions to ensure availability and integrity of data associated with a transaction across multiple geographical regions, which, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, cause the system to:

receive, by a first stack operating in a first geographical region, the data associated with the transaction from a user,
wherein the data includes an identification (ID) of an item, and a quantity of the item;
obtain reference data,
wherein the reference data is independent of the data associated with the transaction, and
wherein the reference data is independent of the user;
obtain context data,
wherein the context data is associated with the user, and
wherein the context data is independent of the data associated with the transaction;
dehydrate the data associated with the transaction by stripping the data associated with the transaction of derivable data to obtain dehydrated data,
wherein the derivable data comprises data that can be derived from the dehydrated data, the context data, and the reference data, and
wherein the derivable data comprises a price associated with the item;
stream the dehydrated data to a global database,
wherein the global database is available and redundant across the multiple geographical regions including the first geographical region and a second geographical region, and
wherein the global database is available to the first stack operating in the first geographical region and a second stack operating in the second geographical region;
obtain an indication that the first stack operating in the first geographical region has failed;
and,
resume the transaction by the second stack operating in the second geographical region by:
retrieving, by the second stack operating in the second geographical region, the dehydrated data from the global database;
retrieving the context data and the reference data;
hydrating the dehydrated data by recreating the data associated with the transaction based on the dehydrated data, the context data, and the reference data;
and
resuming the transaction.

19 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one hardware processor;
and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system to:
receive, by a first stack, data associated with a transaction;
obtain reference data,
wherein the reference data is independent of the transaction, and
wherein the reference data is independent of a user;
obtain context data,
wherein the context data is associated with the user, and
wherein the context data is independent of the transaction;
strip the transaction of derivable data to obtain stripped data,
wherein the derivable data comprises data that can be derived from the stripped data, the context data, and the reference data;
stream the stripped data to a global database,
wherein the global database is available and redundant across multiple geographical regions, and
wherein the global database is available to the first stack;
obtain an indication that the first stack has failed;
resume, by a second stack, the transaction by:
retrieving, by the second stack, the stripped data from the global database;
retrieving the context data, and the reference data;
recreating the data associated with the transaction based on the stripped data, the context data, and the reference data;
and
resuming the transaction.

19 more elements

A method comprising:

receiving, by a first stack, data associated with a transaction;
obtaining reference data,
wherein the reference data is independent of the transaction, and
wherein the reference data is independent of a user;
obtaining context data,
wherein the context data is associated with the user, and
wherein the context data is independent of the transaction;
stripping the transaction of derivable data to obtain stripped data,
wherein the derivable data comprises data that can be derived from the stripped data, the context data, and the reference data;
streaming the stripped data to a global database,
wherein the global database is available and redundant across multiple geographical regions, and
wherein the global database is available to the first stack;
obtaining an indication that the first stack has failed;
resuming, by a second stack, the transaction by:
retrieving, by the second stack, the stripped data from the global database;
retrieving the context data, and the reference data;
recreating the data associated with the transaction based on the stripped data, the context data, and the reference data;
and
resuming the transaction.
