First class database object server application

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting, by at least one processor, a command within a database query to instantiate an application as a database object of a data platform;
• and
• in response to detecting the command, executing a stored procedure, the stored procedure including instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• instantiating a UDF server within a context of the data platform based on a policy determined by an owner of the data object;
• instantiating an application engine of the UDF server;
• instantiating an application of the application engine;
• and
• communicating with a client using the application engine as a proxy server.

A computer-storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• detecting a command within a database query to instantiate an application as a database object of a data platform;
• and
• in response to detecting the command, executing a stored procedure, the stored procedure including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
• instantiating a UDF server within a context of the data platform based on a policy determined by an owner of the data object;
• instantiating an application engine of the UDF server;
• instantiating an application of the application engine;
• and
