US 2021/0173625 A1 · STATIC ASSET CONTAINERS

Abstract

Systems for managing static assets of web applications. A method embodiment includes identifying a web application that comprises a code base and a set of static assets, then separating the code base of the web application from the set of static assets that are referenced by the web application. The code base is deployed as application services whereas the static assets are deployed as static asset containers. Specifically, the set of static assets referenced by the application services are deployed in containers that are instantiated separately from where the application services are instantiated. Requests to access the application services and requests to access the static assets are tracked by taking performance measurements of the systems that process the accesses. Dynamic scaling of static asset containers is done independently from dynamic scaling of the application services. The dynamic scaling is based on combinations of measured usage and/or any system performance characteristics.

Dependent claims

A method for deploying a code base and a set of static assets for a web application, comprising:

provisioning a number of application service instances of a code base for a web application of a cloud-based environment;
provisioning a different number of static asset service instances of a static asset container for the web application;
and
dynamically servicing a request to access the web application at least by provisioning an application service instance of the number of application service instances in response to the request and further at least by provisioning a static service instance of the different number of static asset service instances in response to an asset call from the application service instance to the static asset instance.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when stored in memory and executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a set of acts for managing static assets of web applications, the set of acts comprising:

provisioning a number of application service instances of a code base for a web application of a cloud-based environment;
provisioning a different number of static asset service instances of a static asset container for the web application;
and
dynamically servicing a request to access the web application at least by provisioning an application service instance of the number of application service instances in response to the request and further at least by provisioning a static service instance of the different number of static asset service instances in response to an asset call from the application service instance to the static asset instance.

A system for managing static assets of web applications, the system comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions;
and
a processor that executes the sequence instructions, an execution of the sequence of instructions causing the one or more processors to perform a set of acts, the set of acts comprising,
provisioning a number of application service instances of a code base for a web application of a cloud-based environment;
provisioning a different number of static asset service instances of a static asset container for the web application;
and
dynamically servicing a request to access the web application at least by provisioning an application service instance of the number of application service instances in response to the request and further at least by provisioning a static service instance of the different number of static asset service instances in response to an asset call from the application service instance to the static asset instance.
