Metadata-driven dynamic load balancing in multi-tenant systems

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions embodied on tangible, non-transitory media, the instructions operable when executed by at least one computer to:

• identify a request related to a model-based application executing in a multi-tenant system, the multi-tenant system associated with a plurality of application servers;
• identify at least one object in the model-based application associated with the identified request;
• identify at least one application server associated with a locally-cached version of at least one runtime version of the at least one identified object in the model-based application;
• and
• determine a particular application server from the at least one application servers to send the identified request for processing based at least in part on the locally-cached version of the at least one runtime version being available at the particular application server and the processing load of the particular application server.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• identifying a request related to a model-based application executing in a multi-tenant system, the multi-tenant system associated with a plurality of application servers;
• identifying at least one object in the model-based application associated with the identified request;
• identifying at least one application server associated with a locally-cached version of at least one runtime version of the at least one identified object in the model-based application;
• and
• determining a particular application server from the at least one application servers to send the identified request for processing based at least in part on the locally-cached version of the at least one runtime version being available at the particular application server and the processing load of the particular application server.
