Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for individually deploying batch functions in a cluster computing environment. A batch function system may receive a scheduled batch job for execution at a particular timing. Rather than deploying the corresponding batch functions as a bundled monolith, the batch function system may individually deploy corresponding batch functions. To individually deploy the batch functions, the batch function system may use a verticle data structure for defining a batch job. The batch function system may then execute a batch function corresponding to the batch job on a cluster computing platform by deploying the batch function to a pod executing on computing nodes. Upon individual completion of execution, the batch function system may release the pod and/or computing nodes to make the computing resources available. The batch function system may also preserve and pass data between pods executing batch functions.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for authenticating a user using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A trusted token issuer verifies a user's identity according to identifying credentials (e.g., government issued identification, passport, driver's license, etc.) presented by the user and creates a non-fungible token in response to verifying the credentials. The non-fungible token is associated with a user identifier and can be used by an access provider to authenticate a user requesting access to restricted content provided by the access provider. For example, when a client device associated with the user requests access from an access provider to an access-restricted website or other type of access-restricted area (e.g., building, concert venue, network, etc.), the access provider (e.g., website server, building computing device, venue system, etc.) uses the properties of the non-fungible token to verify one's identity and permit access upon verification.

Abstract
At least some embodiments are directed to a system that receives from an online portal loaded in a computing device, a user request to instantiate a server cluster in a hybrid computer network. The system authenticates and redirects the user request to a selected computer network configured in the hybrid computer network. The system instantiates the server cluster in the selected computer network causing the server cluster to initiate a microservice agent during bootup. The system sends a command to the server cluster to initiate the execution of a process and receives from the microservice agent event data associated with the process. The system inputs the event data into a trained machine learning model to determine a first execution state of the process and sends a command to change the first execution state of the process to a second execution state.

A request can then be sent to a storage engine for a ciphertext key of a node of a binary tree, the node representing an encrypted key-value pair that includes the ciphertext key. The ciphertext key can be decrypted using a cryptographic key to generate a decrypted ciphertext key. Then, the decrypted ciphertext key can be compared to the plaintext key. A determination can then be made as to whether the encrypted key-value pair represented by the node of the binary tree satisfies the search query based at least in part on a comparison of the decrypted ciphertext key to the plaintext key.
