Extensible and programmable multi-tenant service architecture

A system for hosting extensible multi-tenant services, comprising:

• a discovery service configured to:
• receive a request for access from a client associated with at least one organization service hosted by the system;
• determine a location of the requested at least one organization service;
• and
• provide the location of the at least one organization service to the client to enable access to the at least one organization service;
• a plurality of scalable service clusters configured to provide the at least one organization service;
• a configuration store associated with the discovery service arranged to store configuration and location information associated with the plurality of service clusters such that a change in the location of the at least one organization service during the client's access to the at least one organization service is provided to the client for continued access of the client to the at least one organization service;
• and
• a plurality of dedicated Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) configured to provide access to the at least one organization service such that data and applications associated with the at least one organization service are isolated from other organization services, wherein the plurality of dedicated APIs are automatically generated and dynamic, such that the plurality of APIs are adapted to one of an addition and a removal of an organization service.

A computer-readable storage device with computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer, perform a method for providing an extensible multi-tenant service platform, the method comprising:

• receiving a request for access from a client associated with at least one organization service hosted by the platform, wherein the request includes a credential of the client;
• determining a list of organization services available to the client based on the client's credential;
• providing the list of organization services to the client;
• receiving a request for accessing the at least one organization service from the list;
• determining a location of the at least one requested organization service, wherein organization services in the list of organization services are provided by scalable service clusters hosted by the platform;
• providing the location of the at least one organization service to the client to enable access to the organization service;
• if the location of the at least one organization service changes during the access, providing the changed location to the client for continued access of the client to the at least one organization service;
• and
• automatically generating a plurality of dynamic and dedicated Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), the APIs configured to provide access to the at least one organization service, the plurality of APIs being adapted to one of an addition and a removal of an organization service.
