Okta had two patents in digitalization during Q4 2023. Okta Inc’s patent filed in Q4 2023 describes a multitenant infrastructure server (MTIS) that executes computer routines of arbitrary applications in webtask containers. The MTIS receives requests from a webtask server, executes the routine, and returns results or error notifications. Resources consumed are tracked, and the webtask container is destroyed to prevent storage of the routine.

Application: Multi-tenancy via code encapsulated in server requests (Patent ID: US20230388379A1)
The patent filed by Okta Inc. describes a method and system for executing a computer routine in a webtask container within a multitenant infrastructure server (MTIS). The MTIS receives a request from a webtask server to execute the computer routine, provides an isolated environment for execution, assigns computing resources, executes the routine, and returns the result to the webtask server. If the execution fails, an error notification is sent, and the webtask container is destroyed to prevent persistent storage of the routine on the MTIS. The system also includes tracking resources used during execution and analyzing the programming language of the computer code.
The method involves receiving a request containing a computer routine, creating an isolated container environment with necessary components for execution, executing the routine, and destroying the container upon completion. The routine can be in the form of computer code or a URL to online file storage, and the system analyzes the code to determine the programming language. The request can include client data, and resources consumed during execution are tracked. The system supports long-lived processes, such as JavaScript functions, and ensures secure execution by destroying the container post-execution. Additionally, the patent covers a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and a device with instructions for implementing the method, including assigning computing resources, executing the routine, and destroying the container, emphasizing the secure and efficient execution of computer routines within a multitenant infrastructure server environment.
