Abstract:
Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for automatically distributing loads among computing devices involved in message delivery within a group-based communication platform. Embodiments utilize a status checker to monitor the relative health and/or utilization of various channel servers each servicing a group-based communication channel for communication among a particular group of client devices. Upon detecting that one or more of the channel servers exhibit failing health characteristics, the status checker may automatically reallocate the messaging load performed by the failing channel server to other servers, thereby redefining the group-based communication channel associated with a particular group to encompass the newly assigned channel server and minimizing the impact of the failed channel server on message distribution within the group-based communication channel.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer program product for automated load allocation among a plurality of channel servers configured for data exchange within a group-based communication platform, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion configured to:\n monitor health characteristics of a plurality of channel servers based at least in part on health data compiled by a status checker, wherein each of the plurality of channel servers synchronize communications between client devices of at least one group of client devices as defined based at least in part on a configuration key and wherein a plurality of gateway servers are subscribed with each of the channel servers based on a subscription; and upon detecting failing health characteristics of a failing channel server identified within the plurality of channel servers:\n establish a lock between a first admin server of a plurality of admin servers and the configuration key; \n update the configuration key via the first admin server to replace the failing channel server with a replacement channel server; and \n release the configuration key to implement the updated configuration key and to update the subscription of each of the plurality of gateway servers subscribed with the failing channel server to the replacement channel server.
